1960s | Quilted Wool Work Jacket | Red - L

Description:

Item: Heavy wool work jacket in a bold red colourway, featuring a full zip front, soft quilted lining and a wide, padded collar that gives strong mid-century workwear character. Cut in a practical, boxy silhouette with angled hand pockets and simple industrial construction. The quilting adds warmth and structure, making this a true cold-weather work piece rather than a lightweight fashion jacket.

Era: 1960s

Brand: Unbranded

Condition: Good vintage condition. There are some visible marks consistent with age and genuine use, but the jacket remains structurally strong with no issues to the wool or lining integrity. The colour is still vibrant and the quilting remains full and effective. Honest wear that adds character and reinforces its working origins.

Provenance Note:
This is a proper utilitarian jacket from a time when outerwear was built to be worn daily and replaced only when it was finished. Quilted wool pieces like this were favoured for warmth, durability and simplicity, not for style trends. The marks and surface wear are part of that story, showing a garment that has lived a working life rather than being preserved. Survivors in this condition are increasingly scarce, especially in such a striking colour, and they carry an authenticity modern reproductions can’t replicate.

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.
