1930s–1940s | Chippewa | Wool Mackinaw Coat | Plaid – XXL

Description:

Item:
An exceptional early mid-century Chippewa wool Mackinaw coat in a classic red, green and grey plaid. Heavyweight double-layer wool construction with a deep quilted lining, broad collar and traditional button front. Built as a true cold-weather working coat, designed to offer maximum warmth, structure and durability in harsh conditions.

Era:
1930s–1940s

Brand:
Chippewa

Condition:
Very good vintage condition for its age. The wool remains thick, dense and warm with strong colour retention. Lining is intact and still deeply insulating. Light, honest wear consistent with a garment that has lived a proper working life, adding character without compromising structure or function.

Provenance Note:
This is a serious heritage Mackinaw from the golden era of American outdoor and workwear production, when Chippewa was producing garments for forestry, hunting and industrial environments where performance mattered more than appearance. These coats were engineered to last decades, not seasons. Today, original examples like this stand among the most sought-after forms of vintage outerwear, offering exceptional warmth, timeless design and construction quality that modern manufacturing simply cannot replicate.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
