The Jacket Stories collects texts from books, magazines, archives and blogs, tracing the life of Chanel’s iconic tweed jacket. The book follows its journey from men’s tailoring to Coco Chanel’s reimagining as a symbol of feminine freedom and its return to contemporary men’s wardrobes, where gender boundaries in fashion blur.

It highlights historical moments, such as Jackie Kennedy wearing the jacket during President Kennedy’s assassination, showing how a garment intersects with memory, culture and collective history. With a tweed-inspired layout, black-line motifs, and archival and contemporary photographs, the book emphasizes the jacket’s identity.

Jacket Stories explores how a single garment carries history, identity, and cultural meaning.
