Dior Homme SS03 "Follow Me" M-65 Jacket. Size 44 (XS)

[dtolo]

Dior Homme ss 2003 "Follow Me" M-65/Saharienne-style jacket.
Tag size 44 (XS).
An incredibly rare piece from the early Hedi Slimane Dior Homme days.
This is when Slimane was at his very best.
Black cotton/poly blend with silver hardware and black leather details.
Super sleek and simple design with beautiful construction and clever detailing.
(this is the more basic version of the 4-pocket "Saharienne" jacket from the same season).
Features Lampo zippers on sleeves and collar with black leather pull tabs and chrome engraved "CD" clamps.
Gusseted rear panel with center "****" and signature Dior "darts" on shoulders.
Zipper around collar with fully lined pocket inside (same lining material as sleeves).
Secondary horizontal slice detail around collar with layered vertical panel and gloss black snapper on front.
Shoulder epaulettes with double gloss black snappers.
Zip front closure with 2 additional snaps at top and bottom along with 2 snaps on collar.
Long fabric draw cord at waist with gloss black "CD" embossed leather trim pieces around inner openings.
2 hidden hand pockets built into outer side seams and 2 internal pockets.
Fully lined.
Perfect slim fit with high arm holes (as all of the best Dior pieces).
Made in Italy.
Most rare size 44 (XS).
Color is pure Black, some photos lightened to show detail.

Condition is Excellent, only the most minor signs of wear and some minor creasing on arms.
This has been carefully stored and could pass for being a lightly worn 1 or 2 year old jacket.
(Most of the older Dior jackets I've seen have heavy fading and wear to the fabric, especially around the cuffs and inside the collar, but this is not the case here, fabric color is as new and there is no damage to the gloss black snappers or leather tabs).
This is truly a "time capsule" piece, the condition is fantastic considering the age.
Only small thing to note is the leather/chrome "CD" pull tab is missing from the front zipper, and the zipper puller may have been replaced (but still functions perfectly and smoothly).
