1970s | Unbranded | Padded Ski Jacket | Navy With Red Trim - L

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s padded ski jacket in deep navy with sharp red piping detail. Diamond-quilted construction with a high padded collar, full zip front and zipped hand pockets. Strong alpine silhouette with a slightly boxy, functional cut that sits perfectly in line with authentic seventies skiwear. Built for warmth, movement and visibility on the slopes.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Unbranded

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Padding remains full and evenly distributed, fabric retains its colour and structure, and all zips function as they should. There is a small nick on the back of the left arm, consistent with age and use. This is honest wear that adds character and is exactly why pieces like this have so much appeal.

Provenance Note:
This jacket captures the golden age of ski style, when outerwear was bold, graphic and unapologetically visible. Before modern performance gear became streamlined and technical, pieces like this were designed to stand out against snow and sky. It carries the atmosphere of alpine resorts, wood-panelled chalets and early après-ski culture. A true wearable archive piece with presence, warmth and history stitched into every panel.

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.
