DescriptionBeige herringbone wool man's jacket with grey pinstripes
Label Text:Jean Paul Gaultier added pockets to the outside of this man’s suit jacket, transforming them into decorative elements rather than hiding them inside. Abundant storage space in businessmen’s suits enabled them to forgo the use of a handbag, but pockets could easily become overstuffed and possessions misplaced.
