The construction of the Deccan also depends on a precise and deliberate placement of the skins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We work with the natural structure of the crocodile rather than against it, selecting each section according to the scale size and the role it will play in the garment. Larger scales are used across the principal panels, while finer areas naturally follow the shoulders, sleeves, collar, and selected sections of the back<\/p>\n This approach allows the scale pattern to become part of the architecture of the jacket itself.<\/p>\n The front is punctuated by patch pockets<\/strong> and a restrained button closure, while the standing collar reinforces the vertical quality of the silhouette. From the back, the piece reveals even more of the graphic character of the skin, with changes in scale size creating an almost architectural rhythm.<\/p>\n We chose Malachite Green<\/strong> for its depth and singularity.<\/p>\n It works naturally with black, charcoal gray, ecru, deep brown, and selected tobacco tones. Worn with an otherwise understated silhouette, the Deccan naturally becomes the focal point.<\/p>\n With this jacket, our intention is not simply to display the rarity of the material, but to explore what crocodile leather can offer in terms of texture, color, structure, and construction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To discover more about our work with exceptional skins and made-to-measure leather garments, explore The Couture Collection<\/a>. Altan Bottier\u2019s Couture Collection is made in Paris, tailored to order, and built around carefully selected exceptional skins and individualized craftsmanship.<\/p>\n With the Deccan Jacket<\/strong>, we wanted to create a piece of character at the crossroads of tailored structure and exceptional material.<\/p>\n Its name refers to the vast Deccan Plateau<\/strong> in central and southern India. We chose it for its geographical, mineral, and architectural resonance \u2014 a natural echo of the jacket\u2019s vertical construction, clean lines, and the distinctive relief of nubuck crocodile leather. Altan Bottier<\/a><\/p>\n Inspired by the Indian wardrobe, the Deccan is defined by its standing collar<\/strong>, straight silhouette, and deliberately restrained design. We chose not to overwork the cut, allowing the material itself to remain at the center of the piece. Altan Bottier<\/a><\/p>\n The Malachite Green nubuck crocodile leather<\/strong> gives the jacket a particular depth. Unlike smooth crocodile leather, nubuck absorbs more light and softens contrast. The relief of the scales remains highly visible, yet becomes more tactile, matte, and almost mineral in appearance.<\/p>\n We are particularly drawn to this finish because it changes the way crocodile leather is perceived. The material remains immediately recognizable, but its expression becomes more discreet, more contemporary, and less demonstrative. Depending on the light, the green shifts between malachite, mineral green, and deeper blue-green tones. Altan Bottier<\/a><\/p>\n The Deccan Jacket is made exclusively as a Special Order and made-to-measure piece<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n After taking the client\u2019s measurements, we first create a fabric fitting jacket<\/strong> to assess the cut, proportions, balance, and drape. Once this trial garment has been fitted, adjusted, and approved, we proceed with the selection and cutting of the crocodile skins for the final piece. <\/em>Once the order is placed, our artisans contact the client directly to begin the fitting and production process<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":34346,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[261],"product_tag":[300],"class_list":["post-34376","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-leather-jackets","product_tag-jackets-2","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/34376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=34376"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=34376"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altan-bottier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=34376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Malachite Green<\/h2>\n
