1977 Vintage Italian Gazelle Shearling Suede Jacket – Florence Leather Factory

This is a true vintage Italian leather jacket with documented provenance — not a reproduction, not a reseller piece, and not modern fast fashion.

Purchased in Florence, Italy in 1977. This jacket was bought directly from a Florence leather factory during the golden era of Italian leather craftsmanship. It has been worn no more than twice and carefully stored ever since, making it an exceptionally rare survivor in essentially new condition.

Materials & Construction

• Outer: Genuine Italian suede leather

• Trim & Panels: Authentic gazelle fur shearling (rare, lightweight, and no longer commonly used)

• Interior: Quilted lining for warmth and structure

• Construction: Hand-assembled patchwork panels, characteristic of 1970s Italian artisan leatherwork

Gazelle shearling was prized in the 1970s for being lighter, warmer, and more supple than traditional lamb or shearling, and today is rarely found outside of archival or bespoke pieces.
