    How old? There is actually a great thread on tFS on this.

      oh, thanks, i'll google it and find the thread...



      i keep forgetting about that place...



      i dont know, late 80s early 90s....



      when everything looked really "plain"...I liked it like that.



      The one pic I still have is the one where John Malkovich is walking the runway.

                i found this on yoox vintage but cannot for the life of me find which a.d. it is, i think it might be fw98, any help would be appreciated, of course i will know once it arrives but i would love to see it on the runway picture. i have books but cant find it there either. tia.

                  rider, i think (not sure though) that that's from ss04, but if it is, you woan't see it on a runway since that was just a show of skirts. of course the collection consisted of more than that, but only skirts were shown.

                    johnny, thank you so much . now i can see how it makes perfect sense in the context of the collection. i thought it might be from the muslin fabric of 98 but it fits right in with the skirt collection patterns and trim.

                      Hi Rider -

                      This is a 90s CBG, no? Do tell us when it arrives - it's a beautiful piece!

                        hi, i'm a bit boggled on this one. the jacket fits into the context of the skirt collection based on pattern, trim and details but since there is not an a.d. tag on it i cannot be sure, and rei does have a knack for repeating snipes of themes. i believe early life cdg did not use a.d. so until i find the collection reference i wont know for sure. my books dont seem to have it and yoox vintage listed it as 90's, curiously.

                        no matter, its a perfect fit and will make a great spring jacket that i look forward to wearing and will most certainly bring a smile to my face everytime i catch a glimpse.

                        appreciate the insights...always. now that i have it in hand i can take a picture or two of it. its really very sweet, but like black licorice is sweet not sugar. make sense?
