Description:
Item:
Original 1990s black leather car coat by Ciro Citterio, constructed from heavy, substantial leather with a strong natural grain. Features a classic button front, notched lapel collar and horizontal chest seam detail typical of 1990s leather outerwear. Designed with angled hand pockets and a clean, minimal silhouette that emphasises the weight and character of the leather. The cut is relaxed and slightly boxy, allowing for easy layering and reflecting the traditional proportions of leather car coats from the period.
Era:
1990s
Brand:
Ciro Citterio
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The leather is thick and durable with natural creasing and patina from age that adds character. Structurally strong and presents very well.
Provenance Note:
Ciro Citterio was known for producing well-made Italian leather outerwear during the late 20th century, often using heavier hides than many contemporary fashion brands. Car coats from this period were designed as practical everyday outerwear, combining the clean lines of tailoring with the durability of thick leather. Heavier examples like this develop excellent character over time and remain highly wearable decades later.

Condition Notes:
Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing
We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.
Sizing Notes:
Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.
Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:
31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL
For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
