1970s | Leather Jacket | Oversized Collar – XL

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s leather jacket featuring an exaggerated wide collar that perfectly captures the bold styling of the decade. The jacket has a button front closure with classic western-style chest pockets and vertical seam panel construction through the body. The cut is relaxed with a slightly boxy 1970s silhouette, allowing it to layer comfortably while still keeping a strong shape.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The leather remains soft and supple with attractive natural creasing from age and wear. Buttons are intact and the lining remains presentable. Honest vintage wear that adds character and reinforces the authenticity collectors look for in genuine period leather.

Provenance Note:
Leather jackets in the 1970s embraced dramatic proportions, and the oversized collar on this piece is a perfect example of the era’s confident design language. Combined with the western-influenced pocket shapes and structured panel construction, it has that unmistakable seventies presence while still feeling wearable today. Pieces like this stand out because the collar alone instantly signals the period and gives the jacket real visual impact.

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.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
