1960s | Arctic | Wool Buffalo Check Shirt Jacket | Red / Black | Made in USA –M/L

Description:

Item: Heavyweight 1960s wool buffalo check shirt jacket by Arctic, finished in the classic red and black check. Features a full button front, dual button-flap chest pockets and a strong, structured collar. Thick, tightly woven wool with real substance, sitting perfectly between a shirt and a light jacket. A proper cold-weather workwear staple.

Era: 1960s.

Brand: Arctic.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Colour remains deep and vibrant with no fading to the red or black. Wool is dense and intact with no thinning. Buttons are all original and secure. Only light, honest wear consistent with age, the kind that adds character rather than detracts.

Provenance Note:
Arctic is a respected name in mid-century American outdoor and workwear clothing, known for producing genuinely hard-wearing wool garments for cold climates. Their buffalo check pieces embody everything collectors look for: bold patterning, heavy cloth, and functional design. Clean 1960s examples like this are becoming increasingly scarce, making this a strong archive-level example of classic American workwear history.

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.
