1970s | Sears | Suede Leather & Knit Cardigan Jacket | Made in USA | Tan / Tobacco – S

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s suede leather and knit cardigan jacket by Sears. Soft split-suede leather body with ribbed knit sleeves, collar and hem, finished with a full zip front and clean, simple panel construction. A classic American take on the leather-knit hybrid jacket, practical, comfortable and effortlessly wearable.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Sears

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The suede remains supple with natural tonal variation and gentle patina from age. Knit sections are strong and intact with no structural issues, thinning or repairs. Honest wear throughout that adds character and is exactly what people look for in original leather pieces of this type.

Provenance Note:
Sears produced some of the best everyday leather garments of the 1970s, combining solid American manufacturing with timeless, functional design. Jackets like this were made to be worn hard and last for decades, not as disposable fashion. The leather-and-knit construction places it firmly in the golden era of practical casualwear, and pieces like this are becoming increasingly scarce in wearable condition. A proper vintage jacket that carries real authenticity and longevity.

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 do not take photos of inside the garment.
