1930s–1940s | Unbranded | Jodhpurs – Natural - w30

Description:

Item:
Original inter-war to early post-war jodhpurs in a heavy natural cotton twill. Traditional high-rise cut with pronounced thigh shaping and taper through the lower leg, finished with the classic ankle fastening. A strong utilitarian silhouette that sits somewhere between military, riding and workwear, with a powerful period presence.

Era:
1930s–1940s

Brand:
Unbranded

Condition:
Heavily worn and visibly stained throughout, exactly as shown. Multiple marks, discoloration and signs of long-term use across both legs and seat. Structurally sound with no major fabric failure, but very much a character piece rather than a pristine example. This is honest, working wear that tells its story openly.

Provenance Note:
Pieces like this are pure archive material. The wear and staining aren’t flaws here, they are the evidence of real use from a period when clothing was built to be worked in, not preserved. These jodhpurs sit firmly in the territory of collectors, stylists and displays where authenticity matters more than perfection. They carry far more visual weight than a clean example ever could, making them ideal for editorial, costume reference or serious vintage collections.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation, however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

For trousers, please compare the waist and leg measurements to a pair you already own, laid flat, rather than measuring your body directly.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
