{"product_id":"chevignon-americaine-leather-jacket-early-1990s-bumper-vachette-cowhide","title":"Vintage 1990s Chevignon Cognac Cowhide Leather Jacket","description":"\u003chr data-start=\"190\" data-end=\"193\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"195\" data-end=\"703\"\u003eA cognac brown leather jacket by Chevignon, the French label built around the language of American heritage clothing. The interior label reads Bumper Vachette Américaine — a model name that reflects both the material and the intent behind it. Bumper vachette refers to a heavier, structured grade of cowhide, tanned for durability and substance, and it is what sets the better Chevignon jackets apart. This example dates to the early 1990s, cut in a true XXL, and represents the Américaine model at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003eThe front closes on a full-length centre zip fitted with a Chevignon-branded slider. A single zip chest pocket sits to the right of the front panel. Two angled slash pockets run across the lower front, each finished with a V-shaped leather welt, a clean and deliberate construction detail that carries through the jacket. The collar is wide and pointed, finished in matching leather to the underside. A leather hanging loop is present at the interior back neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eThe interior is lined throughout in a heavy natural cotton twill, close to canvas weight, with leather trim panels running the full length of the front facings, across the hem band and into the cuffs. The back panel carries a distinctive triangular leather yoke, secured with three original rivets. Two interior patch pockets are present, leather-bound and fully functional. The Chevignon label remains in place and clearly legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"2229\"\u003eThe leather is bumper vachette cowhide in its original cognac brown. The colour has not been altered, but has deepened naturally with time. Across the surface, the tone shifts between warm cognac on the flatter panels and a richer, darker brown through the edges, folds and pocket mouths where the jacket has been handled most. There is light abrasion to the pocket edges and some surface marking to the sleeves consistent with use. The back shoulder panel shows the natural pull and texture of the hide, characteristic of this grade of leather. The interior lining remains in very good condition, clean and structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2231\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003eAll zips have been cleaned and lightly lubricated in the workshop and run as intended. The structure is sound throughout with all seams secure. The jacket has been cleaned, lightly dressed and conditioned in house to support the leather while preserving its original surface and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"m039v\" data-start=\"2522\" data-end=\"2537\"\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2539\" data-end=\"3401\"\u003e• Early 1990s Chevignon leather jacket, Américaine model\u003cbr data-start=\"2595\" data-end=\"2598\"\u003e• Bumper vachette cowhide, original cognac brown\u003cbr data-start=\"2646\" data-end=\"2649\"\u003e• Size XXL\u003cbr data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"2662\"\u003e• Original Chevignon label present and legible\u003cbr data-start=\"2708\" data-end=\"2711\"\u003e• Centre front zip closure with branded slider\u003cbr data-start=\"2757\" data-end=\"2760\"\u003e• Single zip chest pocket\u003cbr data-start=\"2785\" data-end=\"2788\"\u003e• Two angled slash lower pockets with V-shaped leather welt\u003cbr data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"2850\"\u003e• Wide pointed leather collar\u003cbr data-start=\"2879\" data-end=\"2882\"\u003e• Heavy natural cotton twill body lining\u003cbr data-start=\"2922\" data-end=\"2925\"\u003e• Leather trim panels to front facings, hem band and cuffs\u003cbr data-start=\"2983\" data-end=\"2986\"\u003e• Triangular leather yoke panel to interior back with three original rivets\u003cbr data-start=\"3061\" data-end=\"3064\"\u003e• Two interior leather-bound patch pockets\u003cbr data-start=\"3106\" data-end=\"3109\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Leather hanging loop at back neck\u003cbr data-start=\"3144\" data-end=\"3147\"\u003e• Natural patina throughout with light abrasion consistent with age\u003cbr data-start=\"3214\" data-end=\"3217\"\u003e• Interior lining in very good condition\u003cbr data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3260\"\u003e• All zips cleaned, lubricated and functioning correctly\u003cbr data-start=\"3316\" data-end=\"3319\"\u003e• Structure sound, all seams secure\u003cbr data-start=\"3354\" data-end=\"3357\"\u003e• Cleaned and lightly conditioned in house\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1do4eyv\" data-start=\"3403\" data-end=\"3439\"\u003eGarment Measurements (Laid Flat)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3441\" data-end=\"3649\"\u003e• Chest (armpit to armpit): 25\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3474\" data-end=\"3477\"\u003e• Shoulders (seam to seam): 20\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3510\" data-end=\"3513\"\u003e• Sleeve length (underarm to cuff): 19\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3554\" data-end=\"3557\"\u003e• Sleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff): 27\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3603\" data-end=\"3606\"\u003e• Back length (collar seam to hem): 27\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3651\" data-end=\"3745\"\u003eBest suited to a 46\" relaxed fit or 48\" regular chest.
