1960s | Big Bill | Wool Lumberjack Jacket | Made in Canada | Buffalo Plaid – XL

Description:

Item:
A medium weight 1960s Big Bill lumberjack jacket in classic red and black buffalo plaid wool, featuring the traditional contrast chest yoke and snap button construction. Built as a true working jacket, designed for warmth, durability and long days outdoors. Recently repaired using traditional visible mending techniques, preserving both function and authenticity.

Era:
1960s

Brand:
Big Bill

Condition:
Very good vintage condition with period-correct repair work. The wool remains thick, warm and structurally strong with excellent colour retention. The repair has been carried out using traditional visible mending methods, similar to sashiko-style reinforcement, adding strength while respecting the garment’s original character. Honest wear that enhances the story of the piece and is exactly what collectors of proper workwear look for.

Provenance Note:
This is a true heritage Big Bill work jacket from the golden era of North American industrial clothing, when garments were built to be repaired, reused and worked in for decades. The visible repair is not a flaw but a continuation of that tradition, showing exactly how these jackets were kept alive through real working lives. Today, pieces like this represent the highest form of authentic vintage workwear: honest, functional, beautifully worn and impossible to reproduce with modern manufacturing.

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.
