Mercibeaucoup AW11 Archival "Shark Head" Pinstripe Blazer

Mercibeaucoup AW11 Archival "Shark Head" Pinstripe Blazer

Product Overview A highly coveted piece for archival Japanese fashion collectors, this Mercibeaucoup blazer from the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection perfectly encapsulates designer Eri Utsugi’s imaginative and playful approach to avant-garde streetwear. By merging the rigid formality of a traditional pinstripe suit jacket with a whimsical, sculptural animal motif, this garment stands as a striking example of early 2010s Harajuku design.

Key Features

• Sculptural Hood Design: The defining characteristic of the garment is a massive, meticulously constructed shark head hood. Complete with dimensional fabric teeth and stylized eye appliqués, it transforms the traditional blazer silhouette into a striking, wearable art piece.

• Complex Layered Construction: The piece features an intricate, multi-layered design that seamlessly integrates an inner hooded track-style layer with an outer formal blazer body, creating a striking visual contrast.

• Premium Textile: Cut from a high-quality dark suiting fabric. The classic vertical pinstripe is overlaid on a subtle, textural herringbone weave, adding incredible depth to the material.

• Ribbed Knit Accents: The jacket utilizes thick, contrast-color ribbed-knit detailing at the cuffs and inner collar areas, adding a relaxed, textural element against the formal pinstripe shell.

• Signature Hardware & Trims: Accented with custom blue and gold-tone buttons bearing the embossed "me" (mercibeaucoup) monogram. The interior features a smooth, high-contrast silver lining.

• Tagged Size: One Size

• Please Note: Designed with a relaxed, accommodating block to balance the heavy structural elements of the upper half. The "One Size" tailoring offers a versatile drape typical of Japanese avant-garde garments, allowing it to accommodate a range of standard sizes depending on the desired fit.
