1970s | Novo Milano | Belted Leather Jacket | Red - 12

Description:

Item:
1970s leather jacket in rich red with classic button-front closure and waist belt. Features a structured collar with quilted detailing, angled hand pockets and shaping seams through the body. The cut is distinctly 1970s with a softly tailored silhouette designed to cinch slightly at the waist when belted, creating a flattering fitted line while maintaining the relaxed structure typical of the era.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Novo Milano

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Leather remains soft and supple with attractive natural grain and light wear consistent with age. Minor signs of use add character while the structure and lining remain sound.

Provenance Note:
Italian leather jackets from the 1970s often carried a slightly sharper sense of tailoring, blending everyday practicality with a more fashion-led silhouette. This Novo Milano example captures that perfectly with its sculpted waist, strong collar and rich red tone. It’s a confident vintage piece that still feels striking today, equally at home styled casually with denim or used as a statement outer layer.

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, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
