Description:
Item: Cotton beach jacket in a red and white gingham check, with a towelling interior, button-through front, oversized pointed collar, buttoned chest pocket and short sleeves. Boxy, roomy cut with dropped shoulders.
Era: 1970s
Brand: Jantzen
Condition: Very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.
Provenance Note: A Jantzen beach jacket cut from red and white gingham cotton and backed throughout with soft white towelling, so it pulls on straight over swimwear and dries as you wear it. The oversized pointed collar sits wide across the shoulders, and the button-through front runs to the hem with a single buttoned pocket at the chest. The cut is boxy and roomy with dropped shoulders and short sleeves that turn back at the cuff. Jantzen built its name on swimwear, and this belongs to that side of the wardrobe.

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.
Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:
UK 6 (30–31")
UK 8 (32–33")
UK 10 (34–35")
UK 12 (36–37")
UK 14 (38–39")
UK 16 (40–41")
UK 18 (42–43")
UK 20 (44–45")
For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
