Description
This is a really fun vintage Louis Feraud 1980's 2 piece ensemble in black wool and cotton velvet. The set includes a jacket and a pair of slim pants. Louis Feraud pieces were made to last and we find this particular outfit can be worn together or as separates with other things you already own.
Louis Feraud was not only a fashion designer, but an artist and showed his work at legitimate exhibitions, including one at the Grand Palais and at New York’s Urban Gallery. He was also an author and he published two novels in French. Among his many awards, Feraud won the Golden Thimble prize for excellence in couture in 1978 and 1984, and was named officer of France’s Legion d’Honneur in 1994. We have always loved his pieces and have many of them in our collection.
The Outfit:
The black wool jacket has black cotton velvet patch pockets, velvet covered buttons down the center front for closure, and a velvet pointed collar. The unique quilted satin sleeves are a soft black, almost a dark brown, to contrast with the black of the jacket body.
The jean style slim black velvet pants have front side slit pockets and back patch pockets .
Labeled Louis Féraud Set Made in Germany and marked a size US 10. Please use the measurements as a guide for the most accurate fit.
CONDITION: Excellent Condition- has spare buttons attached on both the jacket and pants.

Measuring & Fit Guide
We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.
The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.
We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:
| DRESSES | PANTS | |
|
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement. |
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements |
|
|
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement. |
LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam. | |
| HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. | RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband. | |
| LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement. | INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam. | |
|
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.** |
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.
**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve. 
Feel free to email us with specific questions about specific measurements that we may not have included that you need to know in order to feel confident about your purchase. If you have a particularly long torso, short legs, long arms, etc.. we can help you determine whether or not a garment will work for your body.
