Condition: Excellent. The blistered, cracked appearance is entirely intentional from the factory treatment.

Overview
An incredibly rare, museum-tier piece of fashion history: an open-front long coat from the earliest, pre-global artisanal era of Rick Owens (circa 1999–2001). This garment predates the brand’s industrial expansion and partnership with the Olmar & Mirta factory, representing the pure, raw foundation of Owens' avant-garde design language.
True to this foundational period, the coat features no modern printed synthetic tags. Instead, it bears the iconic internal signature ribbon accompanied by the original, handwritten style code “930”—the historic 3-digit pattern identifier used by Rick’s small L.A./Paris atelier to track this specific long, draped silhouette.
Material & Texture
The coat is constructed from ultra-dense, paper-thin kangaroo leather—celebrated for its exceptional tensile strength despite its lightweight, fabric-like gauge. The hide has undergone Rick's legendary factory washing and tumbling process to achieve a dramatic "blistered" crackle texture.
