Description:

Item:
Original 1980s Italian military field jacket in olive green featuring classic four-pocket front construction with buttoned chest pockets and large lower cargo pockets. Designed with epaulettes bearing star insignia, concealed front closure and an internal waist drawcord allowing the jacket to be worn fitted or relaxed. Durable military fabric construction built for field use with reinforced seams and practical detailing throughout. Cut with the relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette typical of military field jackets of the period.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
Italian Military

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains strong with good structure and colour depth. Light, honest wear consistent with age and service adds character without detracting. No structural issues and presents very well.

Provenance Note:
Italian military field jackets from the late Cold War period are appreciated for their clean design and practical functionality. Compared with earlier field jackets, the 1980s versions often feature slightly more refined construction and improved durability while maintaining the classic military aesthetic. The combination of utility pockets, tailored waist and understated insignia gives these pieces an authentic fieldwear character that continues to translate effortlessly into modern everyday wear.

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.
