1970s | Orvis | Wool Shacket | Plaid – XL

Description:

Item:
A classic 1970s Orvis wool shacket, cut in a traditional workwear silhouette with a structured collar, button front, chest pockets and handwarmer pockets. Heavyweight brushed wool in a muted, earthy plaid that sits perfectly between shirt and jacket. Designed as a practical outer layer that offers warmth without the bulk of a full coat.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Orvis

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The wool remains thick, soft and well structured with strong, even colour throughout. Light, honest wear consistent with age, with no thinning, damage or repairs. Exactly the kind of natural patina people look for in proper vintage wool.

Provenance Note:
Orvis garments from this period were built with function at the forefront, aimed at outdoor use, travel and everyday durability rather than fashion trends. Their wool pieces in particular are known for excellent cloth quality and timeless construction. This shacket is a perfect example of that approach: practical, versatile and quietly refined, offering the kind of build and longevity that modern clothing rarely comes close to matching.

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.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
