This is an unused 1980s New Wave jacket made by Déjà Vu Créations. This 1980s New Wave jacket has padded and squared shoulders, medium width notched lapels, wide cut upper silhouette that narrows to the waist, a double button front with single button closure and jetted pockets at either side and chest. The side pockets and double vent back are still sewn shut. The fabric has a distinctive pattern in shiny blue and black - the model of the jacket is referred to as ""Donato"" on the cuff tag. The pattern is consistent with the era's fashion trend of combining traditional menswear patterns with modern elements.
