Avanti New York Genuine Leather 3-Button Blazer Jacket
Avanti New York · Clothing & Accessories > Outerwear > Leather Jackets
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s (Y2K era). Identified by the rectangular leather label, polyester satin lining, and the structured minimalist silhouette popular in that period.
Material
Genuine cowhide or lambskin leather outer; 100% polyester lining. The leather shows a soft, buttery sheen consistent with mid-range quality lamb leather.
Condition
Very Good to Excellent. The leather appears supple without dry rot or significant cracking. There is minor creasing at the elbows and natural wear around the buttonholes and cuffs, but no visible tears or heavy scuffing.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. The 'Old Money' and '90s Minimalist' trends have kept leather blazers in high demand, particularly during fall and winter seasons.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop, Poshmark, and eBay. Depop is ideal for reaching the Gen-Z market looking for Y2K styles. Poshmark is excellent for mid-market leather brands like Avanti.
Selling Tips
Price higher in October/November. Use keywords like 'Minimalist', 'Y2K', 'Matrix', and 'Clean Girl Aesthetic'. Include flat-lay measurements (shoulder-to-shoulder, pit-to-pit, and length) as leather sizing can be inconsistent. Take photos in natural lighting to show the leather grain.
