Hi this very rare sold out men's Tom Ford era, Tom Ford For Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche YSL handmade in Italy violet/purple/plum/lavender blazer style size 44 US velour jacket is absolutely one-of-a-kind and exceptionally rare and hard to find. 

One of the rarest jackets/blazers ever made. This work of art is from the brilliant genius line of Tom Ford during his era of Design Director and leading the house of Yves Saint Laurent. For the true collector and connoisseur.

The jacket is all that comes in the shipment and that's it.  I just no longer need it but I am just doing this to help my family and family members who are very ill/sick, so please no low-ball offers.

According to research for this jacket:

During his tenure as Creative Director at Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche (2000–2004), Tom Ford frequently utilized rich, jewel-toned velvets to define his "luxurious and erotic" aesthetic. One of the most iconic examples is the Fall/Winter 2002 collection, which featured deep-toned velvet blazers in shades of burgundy, plum purple and aubergine.

FW 2002 Collection: This season is particularly famous for its high-sheen velvet tailoring. The runway showcased models in structured blazers with sharp lapels, often paired with matching trousers to create a complete velvet suit.

Signature Style: Ford's YSL era moved away from the softer, romantic elements of previous years, focusing instead on razor-sharp tailoring and elongated lines.

Color Palette: While black and charcoal were staples, Ford introduced flashes of "blood red," deep greens, and rich purples (aubergine) that have since become highly sought-after archival pieces.
