Helmut Lang Merino Wool Sweater Jacket
Wearing:
I first saw this Helmut Lang merino wool sweater jacket in London, at Harvey Nichols. And I glanced and glossed on — for its price, I could just have another shawl-collar, wrap coat made.
But a week later while I was in New York I popped into Helmut Lang’s Soho boutique to try it on — and the Helmut Lang jersey jacket fit so simply and beautifully. I bought it in black, and I’m hunting for it in seal gray.
Passing over a custom, hand-made in America coat for raw-edged wool jersey pieced together in China? I guess that means the terrorists are winning, but the important thing is that I’m comfortable.
That’s real American spirit…
