Hermes Vintage Grand Cortege A Moscou Blazer Silk Jacket 38

This Hermès vintage Grand Cortège à Moscou silk jacket is a true collector’s treasure, merging historical narrative with masterful Hermès artistry.
The deep blue ground is enriched by intricate tones of brown, gold, and green, which together form a dramatic tableau of horses and uniformed figures.
Designed by Michel Duchêne, this exceptional print debuted as part of the Autumn/Winter 1992/1993 collection.

Historical Significance

The design references Napoleon’s fateful march into Moscow in 1812, a pivotal episode marked by ambition, conflict, and eventual retreat.
Although Napoleon entered the city, circumstances forced his withdrawal within just 35 days.
Consequently, Russian forces secured a decisive victory, forever altering the course of European history.
This evocative composition transforms that dramatic moment into a wearable work of art.

Design and Tailoring

A five-button single-breasted front creates elegant shaping while preserving the jacket’s refined structure.
Moreover, two buttons accent each cuff, reinforcing the garment’s tailored precision.
The silk fabric drapes fluidly and provides definition without heaviness, therefore maintaining both comfort and sophistication.

Rarity and Appeal

While Hermès occasionally revisits the scarf format, this vintage silk jacket remains exceptionally elusive.
Because of its scarcity and remarkable condition, collectors regard it as a highly desirable archival piece.
Style it with tailored trousers, layer it over fine knitwear, or pair it with denim for relaxed elegance.
Regardless of styling, the effect is unmistakably refined.
