1980s | Paisley Print Summer Blazer | Multicolour – 16

Description:

Item:
Original 1980s paisley print summer blazer in a vibrant multicolour palette of blue, green, red and yellow on a white ground. The bold swirling print reflects the strong 1970s revival aesthetic popular in early 1980s fashion. Features a four-button front, softly rounded collar and contrasting blue piping along the collar, placket and cuffs. Two front pockets and a lightly structured silhouette with a classic slightly boxy cut that drapes cleanly through the body.

Era:
1980s

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Colours remain bright and crisp with the print well preserved throughout. Light, honest wear consistent with age, adding character without detracting from overall presentation. Structurally sound with no notable issues.

Provenance Note:
By the early 1980s, fashion was happily borrowing from the previous decade, and pieces like this capture that perfectly. The vivid paisley print has all the energy of the 1970s, while the cut and construction place it slightly later, giving you the best of both worlds. A brilliant statement blazer that brings colour, charm and real vintage character to simple outfits.

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, and bulk.
