Description:

Item: Cotton chore jacket in faded blue with heavy multi-colour paint splatter throughout. Point collar, button front, single chest patch pocket, two patch pockets at the hip.

Era: 1980s

Brand: —

Condition: Well-worn vintage condition, with genuine heavy paint splatter and fading throughout from years of proper use. Exactly the character this piece was picked for.

Provenance Note: This is about as honest a working history as a chore jacket gets, red and green paint splattered across the chest and pocket in a way that reads like it came straight off a decorator's back. The fading underneath tells the same story, worn down over years of actual use rather than a single incident. A genuine artisan's jacket with the marks to prove it, exactly the kind of piece that stands out for what it's lived through.

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, heavier shirts, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, bulk, or layering.
