Full matte crocodile front panels, four covered crocodile buttons, two hip pockets with flap closures, V-neckline with pointed hem. Back panel is 70% wool, 30% cashmere knit. Silk lined. Gaultier's RTW collections for Hermès occasionally included exotic leather garments produced in extremely small quantities. Crocodile ready-to-wear is a different production stream than crocodile bags; the hide must be cut to garment patterns rather than bag templates, requiring larger and differently shaped skins. FR38 (US 6).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 – Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall\/Winter 2007 (Jean-Paul Gaultier)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Havane\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte Crocodile (front), Wool\/Cashmere (back), Silk (lining)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e FR38 \/ US 6\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e [TBD — needs Jane]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector's Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hermès exotic leather garments were produced in single-digit quantities per style per season. They required dedicated hide selection separate from the bag program because garment panels demand different dimensions and flexibility. Gaultier's tenure (2003-2010) was the period most associated with exotic RTW at Hermès. This vest is a vintage piece from the middle of that era. Surviving examples in excellent condition are rare because garments sustain more contact wear than bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResale Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hermès exotic RTW occupies a collector lane entirely separate from bags. The buyer is someone who collects Gaultier-era Hermès as a design archive rather than as accessories. Crocodile garments surface on the secondary market far less frequently than crocodile bags because fewer were produced and fewer have survived in wearable condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e👜 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/pages\/the-janefinds-standard-condition-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJaneFinds Condition Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n📦 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/pages\/consign\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSell With JaneFinds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"Product\",\n  \"name\": \"Hermès Matte Havane Crocodile Vest FW 2007 Jean-Paul Gaultier FR38\",\n  \"brand\": { \"@type\": \"Brand\", \"name\": \"Hermès\" },\n  \"material\": \"Matte Crocodile, Wool\/Cashmere, Silk\",\n  \"color\": \"Havane\",\n  \"itemCondition\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/UsedCondition\",\n  \"description\": \"Hermès matte Havane crocodile vest from Jean-Paul Gaultier FW 2007 collection.
