1950s | Sears Sportswear | Wool Buffalo Check Jacket | Red & Black | Made in USA – XL

Description:

Item: Heavyweight 1950s wool buffalo check jacket by Sears Sportswear, featuring the classic red and black block pattern, dual button-flap chest pockets, full button front, and structured workwear cut. Thick woven wool with a firm hand, designed for warmth and durability in outdoor and industrial settings.

Era: 1950s.

Brand: Sears Sportswear.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wool remains rich in colour with strong saturation to both the red and black panels. Fabric is supple with no thinning, and the buttons are all present and secure. Light, honest wear only, exactly what collectors look for in original workwear of this age.

Provenance Note:
Sears Sportswear buffalo check jackets are among the most iconic American workwear pieces of the 1950s. Built for hunters, lumber workers, and cold-weather labour, they’ve since become cornerstone garments in vintage collecting. The bold check pattern, heavyweight wool construction, and unmistakable silhouette place this firmly in the golden era of American outdoor clothing. Pieces like this rarely survive in such strong condition, making it both a wearable classic and a serious archive example of mid-century workwear design.

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.
