Description:

Item: 1970s Italian-made wool knit jacket by Quadro, featuring a muted plaid pattern in earthy tones with contrasting leather shoulder panels. Button-front construction with ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, combining the warmth and texture of knitwear with reinforced shoulder detailing for structure and durability. A distinctive hybrid piece bridging knitwear and outerwear.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Quadro

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, even wear consistent with age. Wool knit remains dense and structurally sound, and the leather shoulder panels show gentle patina without cracking or damage. Honest wear adds depth and character.

Provenance Note:
Italian knitwear in the 1970s often experimented with form, blending traditional techniques with practical detailing. This Quadro jacket reflects that approach, pairing tactile wool with leather reinforcement to create a garment that feels both functional and expressive. Pieces like this were never mass statements, but considered designs made to be worn and lived in, which is precisely where their appeal lies today.

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.
