Heavy antiqued brass-tone zippers slice across the front in true moto-jacket fashion, while strong shoulders and a cropped silhouette give the piece unmistakable 1980s attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the sides, adjustable belt tabs with D-ring hardware can be tightened to cinch the waist, dramatically changing the silhouette from relaxed to sharply defined. Even the sleeves are finished with functional zipper detailing, an unexpected counterpoint to all that shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt is unapologetic, glamorous, a little dangerous— There is something irresistible about a piece that refuses to choose between tough and glamorous. The proportions are borrowed from a biker jacket, but instead of leather, Jeanette for St. Martin covered the entire surface in embroidered leopard pattern and sequins.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeanette for St. Martin\u003cbr\u003eEra: Circa 1980s\u003cbr\u003eVintage size: Small\u003cbr\u003eLeopard-pattern embroidered textile\u003cbr\u003eAllover black sequin embellishment\u003cbr\u003eAsymmetrical moto-style front zipper\u003cbr\u003eAntiqued brass-tone heavy zipper hardware\u003cbr\u003eZippered front pockets\u003cbr\u003eZipper detail at sleeves\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable side waist tabs with D-ring hardware\u003cbr\u003eStructured shoulder pads\u003cbr\u003eBlack satin lining\u003cbr\u003eCropped silhouette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoulders: 18 inches\u003cbr\u003ePit to pit: 20 inches\u003cbr\u003eSleeve: 23 inches\u003cbr\u003eLength: 19 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease compare measurements with a garment you already own for best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector’s Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeanette for St. Martin is particularly associated with the unapologetically embellished eveningwear of the 1980s, with surviving pieces ranging from densely sequined jackets and dresses to novelty and highly decorative statement garments. Current vintage listings show that the label's more unusual jackets—especially heavily embellished, novelty, and animal-print examples—are among the pieces sellers position at the upper end of the Jeanette for St. Martin market. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jacket is a wonderful example of what made that era so visually fearless. Animal print had long carried associations with glamour and exoticism, but here it is pushed into full 1980s excess: embroidered texture, black sequins, exaggerated shoulders, and industrial moto hardware all competing for attention—and somehow working beautifully together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mon Luxe Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44195591159867,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/monluxevintage.com\/products\/wild-at-heart-vintage-1980s-jeanette-for-st-martin-sequin-leopard-moto-jacket","provider":"Mon Luxe Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
