A rare and storied piece from the cult label Gandalf The Wizard, Inc., this 1970s jacket is a wearable mosaic of hand-cut leather patches, painterly florals, and vibrant color blocking. Each panel — some dyed, some hand-painted — carries its own texture and tone, from forest green and golden ochre to oxblood, espresso, and saddle brown. Faint roses emerge across the surface like memories pressed into fabric. The jacket zips closed at the front with deep, curved welt pockets and features a sculptural waist seam that gently gathers in the back.

Constructed from genuine leather and fully lined, this piece bridges the space between art object and functional outerwear. Intentional tailoring at the collar, cuffs, and seams shows the hand of an artisan behind the chaos of color. Though there are minor imperfections throughout — subtle signs of wear at some patches — the overall condition is very good, with all zippers working smoothly and no structural flaws.

Tagged a medium, this jacket offers a cropped yet roomy fit with broad shoulders and gentle tapering at the waist — great for layering over tees or thin knits. An ideal statement piece for collectors of 1970s wearable art, handmade leather, or one-of-a-kind vintage garments with soul.
