VINTAGE 1970s BESPOKE PLAID JACKET!
Utterly cool--a wonderful 1970s plaid!
c. 36, 38. Measurements:
Chest: 19 1/2
Sleeve; 23 3/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17
Length: 28
Made in South Korea by Far East tailoring which catered to US Army officers (it was conveniently located opposite Camp Walker) this is a wonderfully cool 1970s plaid jacket with all of the details that you'd want in such a garment!
This is cut from a cloth that is likely a polyester blend (or else all artificial fibres) in a cool 1970s red, black, and grey plaid with cream overchecking.
This jacket appears to be a two button sack but close inspection with your fingertips on the fabric reveals that this has very cleverly hidden (and beautifully tailored) darting that has been concealed along a line of the plaid. The jacket is fully lined in a red that complements that plaid exterior. It is twin vented and has classic retro oversized pocket flaps and wide lapels. It even includes the original two spare buttons!
The buttons are all red, too--and all are original to the jacket.
Apart from some minor (and uniform) fading to the lining from age this is in excellent condition.
Asking just $25, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
