Description:
Item:
Original 1970s sports track jacket in a rich green with white contrast zip, striped ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, and twin stripe detailing running down the sleeves. Classic full zip front with a clean, athletic silhouette. Cut in a boxy cut that sits neatly on the waist, giving it that unmistakable early European sportswear shape rather than a modern slim profile.
Constructed from period polyester, which is completely different from modern fast-fashion polyester. In the 1960s and 1970s polyester was a premium technical fabric, selected for its durability, colour retention and ability to hold structure over decades. It was designed to last, not to be disposable, which is why jackets like this still feel substantial and wear so well today.
Era:
1970s
Brand:
Unbranded
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Strong, even colour with no fading. Zip functions smoothly. No holes or thinning. The fabric retains its structure, showing only light, honest wear that adds character.
Provenance Note:
This is a pure example of classic 1970s European sportswear design, where simplicity, proportion and fabric quality mattered. The bold colour, confident boxy cut and high-grade polyester construction place it firmly in the golden age of track jackets. Pieces like this show why true vintage sportswear still feels superior in build and presence compared to most modern equivalents.

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 pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.
Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee sizing scale:
31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL
For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
