1960s–1970s | Tailored Linen Jacket | Single Button | Beige - 8

Description:

Item: Vintage tailored jacket in a lightweight linen blend featuring a softly structured silhouette with strong waist shaping. Designed with a single-button front, wide lapels and two front flap pockets. The tailoring creates a flattering fitted waist and slightly flared hem, a cut typical of late 1960s into early 1970s women’s tailoring. Fully lined through the upper body with a smooth satin-style lining.

Era: 1960s–1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light natural creasing typical of linen fabrics. The structure and lining remain strong with only gentle signs of age. Honest wear that adds character typical of genuine vintage garments.

Provenance Note: Tailored linen jackets like this became popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s as women’s fashion moved toward sharper, more structured silhouettes. The defined waist and wide lapels reflect that transition from classic tailoring into the more relaxed yet still elegant styling of the early 1970s. A versatile vintage piece that works equally well styled casually or dressed up.

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
