1970s | JC Penney | Plaid Sherpa-Lined Wool Jacket – Brown/Cream - L/XL

Description:

Item: Heavy wool plaid jacket with full zip front and thick sherpa pile lining, including a deep shearling-style collar. Substantial, winter-weight piece with that classic 1970s outdoors/workwear crossover feel. Proper jacket rather than a shirt-jac, built to be worn hard.

Era: 1970s. The combination of the zip-front construction, bold plaid scale and full sherpa lining sits squarely in this period.

Brand: JC Penney. A dependable source of well-made American outerwear in this era, especially for functional cold-weather pieces like this.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Some darker patches to the inner lining around the collar area, consistent with age and wear. Exterior wool remains strong, with good colour and structure. Honest use that adds character and is exactly why people buy these pieces.

Provenance note: Sherpa-lined plaid jackets from the 1970s are increasingly hard to find in wearable condition, especially with a proper pile lining rather than thin fleece. This is a serious winter jacket with real weight and presence, and one that sits very comfortably alongside higher-end outdoor brands of the period.

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.
