1970s | Elite Team | Padded ski jacket | Blue / Navy - L

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s padded ski jacket by Elite Team, finished in a strong blue and navy horizontal block design. Fully quilted and insulated, with high padded collar, full zip front, zipped hand-warmer pockets and elasticated hem for heat retention. Classic alpine construction with a bold, graphic colour layout that defines the era.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Elite Team

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Padding remains full and evenly distributed, fabric retains its colour and structure, and all hardware functions as it should. Light signs of wear consistent with age only. Honest use that adds character rather than detracts.

Provenance Note:
This is pure 1970s skiwear energy. Loud colour blocking, generous insulation, and a silhouette that was built for cold mountains and après-ski bars in equal measure. Before outdoor clothing became muted and technical, jackets like this were designed to be seen. It feels cinematic, joyful, and completely rooted in its time, the kind of piece that carries instant atmosphere the moment it’s worn.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation, however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.
