{"product_id":"gerard-darel-jacket-dev13e064-black","title":"Gerard Darel | Black Curly Tweed Jacket - Golden Knot Buttons","description":"\u003cp\u003eGerard Darel's black curly tweed jacket builds its statement from texture rather than colour. The bouclé weave catches light in irregular flecks, giving the black a soft, textured depth instead of a flat matte finish. A fine lurex thread runs through the tweed, adding a discreet metallic glint that reveals itself as you move, while golden knot buttons punctuate the front closure with a jewellery-like finish more sculptural than expected on outerwear.\n\nThe fabric itself is a plain curly tweed, meaning the surface has that characteristic looped, nubby hand rather than a smooth or brushed one. It reads substantial without being heavy, the kind of cloth that holds its shape on the hanger and softens slightly against the body with wear. The wool content in the blend gives it warmth and a natural resilience, while the acrylic and polyester share keep the tweed's structure crisp and help it resist crushing through a day of wear.\n\nCut in a straight silhouette, the jacket skims the body rather than clinging to it, landing at a short, cropped length that sits above the hip. It is collarless, a deliberate choice that keeps the neckline clean and lets the golden buttons and lurex trim do the talking rather than competing with lapel details. Set-in sleeves finish in buttoned cuffs, a tailored touch that tightens the proportions at the wrist even as the body of the jacket stays boxy and easy. Flap pockets at the hip add a practical, structured note and reinforce the jacket's ties to classic French tailoring codes.\n\nWorn closed, the golden buttons form a graphic line down the front, turning the fastening into a design feature. Worn open, the jacket falls into a looser, more relaxed frame, letting the tweed's texture and the lurex trim catch the eye without the formality of a full button-through. Because the shape is short and straight rather than fitted, it moves easily over both narrow and fuller silhouettes underneath, making it a layering piece that adapts to what's worn beneath it.\n\nThis is a jacket built for the transitional edges of a wardrobe: over a fine knit and tailored trousers for the office, over a silk blouse and slim denim for evening, or thrown over a simple black dress to dress it up instantly through texture alone. The collarless neckline leaves room for a statement necklace or a silk scarf knotted at the throat, while the cropped length pairs naturally with high-waisted trousers, skirts or denim. It is the kind of jacket that reads as effortlessly Parisian precisely because it does not try too hard: one strong textile, one gleam of gold, and a clean, straight shape carrying the whole look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"BLACK \/ 38","offer_id":41832055832709,"sku":"DEV13E064","price":3550.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEV13E064-BLACK-1.jpg?v=1787773334","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-jacket-dev13e064-black","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
