Enfants Riches Deprimes Putin Portrait Denim Trucker Jacket

Enfants Riches Deprimes Putin Portrait Denim Trucker Jacket

The Enfants Riches Déprimés Putin Portrait Denim Trucker Jacket wears the face of power on its back and shows you nothing from the front — the same arrangement every authoritarian regime has ever preferred.

The body is cut from a dense black denim with a clean, unwashed hand — no distressing, no fading, no concession to softness. The front is structured around a full-length gold-tone metal zipper that replaces the traditional button placket of the American trucker, converting a garment of blue-collar heritage into something that zips shut like a document case. Two chest flap pockets sit symmetrically below the collarbone, each fastened with a polished silver snap button — functional, minimal, positioned with the precision of uniform tailoring. A pointed fold-down collar sits flat and sharp across the neckline. The silhouette is fitted through the torso and cropped at the waist, retaining the compact proportions of a classic Type III trucker while tightening them into something more deliberate, more controlled. The jacket’s titular portrait element occupies the rear panel — a provocation placed where the wearer cannot see it but everyone behind them can, turning the person inside the jacket into a vehicle for an image they carry but never face.

Constructed from heavyweight black denim in an oversized unisex silhouette with the structural rigidity that only raw denim provides — a fabric that will break in over time but never break down. Each piece is individually hand-finished within a strictly limited micro-batch production, built as a garment that generates friction simply by entering a room. Specialist dry clean only is strongly recommended to preserve both the denim integrity and any applied graphic elements; store on a wide padded hanger away from direct sunlight — see full garment care instructions. Available in sizes S, M, L, XL.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy. The label collides 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism, producing hyper-exclusive isolating objects that weaponise the iconography of political power and let the wearer absorb the consequences.

Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan.

You cannot see what you are carrying. That was always the arrangement.

FAQ

What material is the Enfants Riches Déprimés Putin Portrait Denim Trucker Jacket made from?
Heavyweight black denim with a clean, unwashed hand. The fabric carries the structural rigidity of raw denim — stiff at first, softening and developing individual wear patterns over time without losing its shape or density.

What does the portrait on this jacket depict?
The rear panel carries a portrait graphic consistent with the jacket’s title. ERD presents political and historical imagery without editorial framing — no caption, no commentary, no distance — placing the provocation on the wearer’s back where they carry it without seeing it.

How does this differ from a traditional trucker jacket?
ERD replaces the standard button placket with a full-length gold-tone metal zip, and the silver snap-fastened chest pockets are refined to a cleaner, more minimal profile. The proportions remain faithful to the classic Type III trucker silhouette — fitted torso, cropped waist — but the hardware and finishing elevate it beyond workwear into luxury territory.

How should I care for this jacket?
Specialist dry clean only. Store on a wide padded hanger away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or steam. Avoid storing in plastic garment bags to allow the denim to breathe.

Is the Putin Portrait Trucker Jacket a limited release?
Yes. Enfants Riches Déprimés produces all garments in strictly limited micro-batches. Once a run is exhausted, the design is permanently discontinued — no restocking, no reissues.
