1970s | Tailored Blazer | Cream & Black Plaid - S

Description:

Item: Original 1970s tailored blazer in a cream base with bold black plaid and subtle red flecking, finished with a rich red lining. Two-button front with wide, pointed lapels and straight flapped hip pockets. Strong 70s proportions with a slightly boxy cut through the body and a clean, straight hem. The check has real depth and texture, giving the jacket presence without feeling overstated. Fully lined.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Fabric holds its structure well with clear pattern definition. Buttons secure, lining intact, and only light signs of age consistent with careful wear. No structural issues.

Provenance Note: A confident mid-70s piece that leans into pattern and lapel shape in all the right ways. The contrast lining adds a flash of colour when worn open, while the plaid keeps it grounded in classic tailoring. Strong with dark denim or black trousers, it is an easy way to introduce texture and era-specific character into a modern wardrobe.

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 / shirt 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.
