A refined example of Sarah Burton's final Alexander McQueen tailoring language, this jacket transforms classic menswear tailoring through an engineered hourglass silhouette. Instead of external corsetry, the garment uses internal boning and structured construction to sculpt the body, reflecting McQueen's longstanding fascination with anatomy, precision cutting, and the relationship between the body and clothing.

Every piece in our archive is inspected and graded individually. Condition is noted in each listing, along with detailed photos: please review both before purchasing, as all sales reflect the item's condition as described.
New with Tags Unworn, with original tags still attached. Most of our pieces fall into this category.
Pristine Worn once or not at all. No visible signs of wear. Tags may be missing, but the item is in near-new condition.
Excellent Gently worn, with only minor, barely noticeable signs of use (e.g. very slight fading or softening of fabric). No flaws affecting the garment's look or wearability.
Good Worn, with visible signs of use consistent with the item's age: light wear, minor marks, or small imperfections. Fully wearable and true to the character of a vintage piece.
Fair Noticeable wear or flaws: such as visible marks, minor repairs, or age-related fading that are clearly documented in the listing. Still structurally sound and wearable, but priced and described accordingly.
All measurements are taken flat lay and are listed in centimeters in each product listing. To compare with your own clothes, lay a similar garment flat and measure the same way, rather than relying on body measurements alone.
Common measurements you'll find in our listings, depending on the item:
Chest measured flat, side to side, just below the armholes
Length from the highest point of the collar to the hem
Sleeve length from shoulder seam to cuff for tailoring, from neckline to cuff for jersey
Waist flat, side to side, at the narrowest point
Hip flat, side to side, at the widest point
Inseam from crotch seam to hem (bottoms)
If a measurement you need isn't listed, or you'd like help comparing sizing to a piece you already own, please contact us before purchasing.
We are open to price offers. All you need to do is email us at sales@17-21archives.com with the item reference and your best price. We will get back to you in 1-2 business days.
