Description:

Item: Heavyweight 1960s wool buffalo check shirt jacket by Penney’s Towncraft, featuring the classic red and black block pattern, dual button-flap chest pockets, and full button front. Substantial, tightly woven wool with a structured feel, sitting perfectly between a shirt and an outer jacket. A proper cold-weather workwear piece built for durability.

Era: 1960s.

Brand: Penney’s Towncraft.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Strong colour throughout with rich saturation to both red and black. Wool remains thick and sound with no thinning. All buttons present and secure. Light, honest wear only, exactly what you want to see on a genuine piece of this age.

Provenance Note:
Penney’s Towncraft buffalo check garments are among the most desirable examples of mid-century American workwear. Made for practical outdoor use, they’ve become icons of both utilitarian design and vintage style. The 1960s examples, in particular, retain the heavier cloth and sharper construction of earlier decades while being far harder to find today in clean condition. This is a true archive-grade piece of 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.
