1960s | American Workwear | Red & Black Buffalo Plaid Wool Jacket - M/L

Description:

Item: Heavy wool work jacket in classic red and black buffalo plaid, cut with a short, boxy utilitarian silhouette. Zip-front closure with chest pockets and buttoned cuffs, typical of mid-century American workwear intended for cold outdoor labour. Dense wool cloth with a substantial hand, offering both insulation and durability.

Era: 1960s

Brand: Unbranded / American workwear

Condition: Well-worn vintage condition with visible softening to the wool, minor surface wear, and gentle shaping through use. The fabric retains its structure and warmth, with wear adding depth and authenticity rather than detracting from function.

Provenance Note:
This is a jacket built for hard use in harsh conditions. The softened wool, eased structure, and subtle signs of wear are the result of years spent outdoors rather than careful storage. Buffalo plaid pieces like this were worn repeatedly, relied upon for warmth, and replaced only when they could no longer do the job. What survives here is a working garment that has done exactly what it was made to do. The appeal lies in that quiet durability, where time and use have settled the cloth into something unmistakably authentic.

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.
