.. This iconic jacket is a rare treasure for YSL collectors. It is a splendid version of his famous Safari Jacket.

.. The fabric feels like a linen/silk blend. It is a beautiful textile with a sheen that almost sparkles. It is a golden tan with a slight brick undertone. The buttons are gold metal discs with a slightly raised center... they remind me of mabe pearls. The jacket and pockets are lined in silk.

.. It is an absolute classic, by an absolute classic. The couture number 44123 dates it to the late 1970s (around 1978 approximating from dated couture pieces I have noted over the years)
