1980s | Belted Leather Jacket - M

Description:

Item:
1980s lightweight leather jacket in a soft taupe-brown tone, with button-front fastening, fold-down collar, chest flap pocket, lower front pockets and matching waist belt. Relaxed, slightly boxy cut with a belted shape, giving it more structure through the waist than a standard leather jacket.

Era:
1980s

Condition:
Good vintage condition with natural creasing, light surface wear and minor marking throughout the leather. Buttons, belt, pockets, lining and seams present well, with general signs of use consistent with age. The wear gives the leather a softened vintage feel and adds character without detracting from the overall look.

Provenance Note:
A distinctive 1980s leather jacket with a softer, more refined shape than the heavier black leather styles. The belted waist, stitched collar detail and lighter leather tone give it a clear period feel, sitting somewhere between casual outerwear and soft leather tailoring. A wearable vintage leather piece with good texture, useful layering weight and a more unusual silhouette.

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, bulk, or layering.
