1960s | Windward | Red Wool Zip Jacket - S/M

Description:

Item: Heavy red wool zip-front jacket with chest flap pockets, side hand-warmer pockets and a clean, workwear-style silhouette. Quilted interior lining adds warmth without bulk. A simple, well-balanced design that wears easily.

Era: 1960s. The zip construction, pocket layout and overall cut place this firmly in the mid-century American casual/workwear period.

Brand: Windward. A lesser-seen but well-made American label, often producing solid wool outerwear during this era.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Wool remains strong with good colour throughout. Light signs of wear consistent with age, presenting as honest use that adds character rather than detracts. Lining and zip are sound.

Provenance note: Windward jackets don’t appear as often as the bigger heritage names, but pieces like this stand on their own merits. It’s a straightforward, functional 1960s wool jacket with no excess design, exactly the sort of everyday outer layer that quietly survives while flashier pieces disappear.

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.
