2006 Houndstooth Zip-Up Jacket

Houndstooth is the defining feature of this 2006 Chanel jacket, worked in a black and white cotton-wool blend that reads as smart-casual without ever tipping into fuss. Three-quarter length sleeves keep the proportions modern, while a concealed front zip fastening replaces the expected buttons for a cleaner line. Two chest flap pockets sit above two more at the front, giving the tweed silhouette its structured, purposeful look, each pocket adding to the jacket's utilitarian edge without disrupting the pattern's rhythm. Pair it with a mini skirt for contrast or tailored pants for something more streamlined — either way, this pre-owned Chanel tweed jacket earns its place as a designer wardrobe staple, the kind of piece that anchors an outfit built around it. In a size FR 40 with a 72cm bust and 82cm shoulder measurement, it's in very good condition.
