Behind the design
Dapper Dan combined a double-breasted bomber silhouette with panels bearing luxury-brand monograms. The Museum at FIT identifies the materials as High-Tek leather, combining faux and lambskin leather, and dates the jacket to 1987. Its exhibition places the garment within the development of hip-hop fashion.
