Dolce & Gabbana Leather Bomber Jacket

Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) was originally founded in 1985 by Italian designers Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana. The pair had met in 1982, where they would join forces to establish a design consulting studio in Milan. Starting out by only producing womenswear, the brand would launch their first menswear collection in 1990. Through the 1990s the ethos of the brand had shifted as they started to steer away from the usual trends dominating the runways at the time. It was during the 2000s that the brand would really excel and achieve cult status for their utilisation of military influences throughout their work. The 2003 runway colection especially contained heavy military influences with cargo pockets on most pieces, metallic hardwear and bondage straps which all seemed worlds away from the couture pieces the brand had started out producing. 

This particular piece is from a later 2000s collection which is a perfect example of how D&G had settled in their militaristic couture style by this period. It features a leather construction on the exterior with wool and cotton detailing. There are 4 standard pockets on the front, storage options on the arm and 2 stash pockets on the interior. The armpits have stretch wool inserts for comfort and breathability and the waist can be cinched with buckles on the back. 

Great condition with minor signs of wear and age - comes with D&G hanger and suit bag.
