GEOFFREY B. SMALL
Handmade Avant-garde Designer Lightweight Jacket
Geoffrey B. Small is a pioneer in avant-garde design and making clothes by hand.
Since 1993, he has shown more collections in Paris than any American designer, and his concepts continue to lead the designer industry at the highest level. He began his career in 1976 working as a blue jeans salesclerk for the Gap Stores in Boston. From 1979-1980, after working for 3 years selling jeans for the Gap Stores and starting a small business with an old Singer sewing machine in his parents attic making clothes for friends, he was judged a winner from over 34,000 competitors by Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, Geoffrey Beene and Elsa Klensch in the largest fashion design competitions in North America.
From 1984-1991, he was creating and designing clothes in Boston, becoming a leading designer and organizing that citys largest designer industrial events.
The label in this handmade jacket states that it was made at
Atleliers, 115 Kinston Street, Boston, USA.
It is very unique, with intricate top-stitching, with one outside breast pocket, left side and two flap pockets, one on each side, these are for looks only, they are too shallow for anything.
There are also two inside breast pockets,only one is usable, left side, the other is not, due to the top-stitching.
It is partially lined, the front, upper back shoulder area and the sleeves, there are also two under-arm inserts (for sweat?)
