Description:

Item:
1970s lightweight safari-style shirt jacket in rich burnt orange cotton with classic four-pocket utility layout. Button-through front, oversized pointed collar, and clean, structured lines that sit perfectly between shirt and light outerwear. The fabric has a soft, breathable handle, making it ideal as a layering piece or standalone jacket in warmer months.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Unbranded / European leisurewear

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light creasing from age and storage. Fabric remains strong and evenly coloured, with all buttons intact and no structural issues. Honest, gentle wear that enhances the relaxed character of the piece.

Provenance Note:
This is a perfect example of the 1970s fascination with safari and utility styling, where function met casual elegance. Pieces like this were designed to feel adventurous without being heavy or technical, blending travel influence with everyday wearability. The warm orange tone and clean pocket layout capture a moment when menswear embraced colour, ease, and practicality in equal measure, which is exactly why styles like this still feel effortlessly relevant today.

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 do not take photos of inside the garment.
