1980s | Workwear | Chore Jacket – Faded Blue - XL

Description:

Item: 1980s chore jacket constructed from sturdy cotton twill in a deep blue that has softened and faded through decades of use. Features a button front, classic workwear collar, chest pocket and large lower patch pockets, cut with a relaxed, utilitarian silhouette designed for daily labour rather than display.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Unbranded / workwear issue

Condition: Good vintage condition with pronounced, honest wear throughout. Visible fading, light marks and areas of reinforcement tell the story of real use, while the fabric remains structurally sound and fully wearable. No major damage or compromises to function.

Provenance Note:
Chore jackets like this were never meant to survive untouched. The beauty lies in the wear itself: the softened cotton, the uneven fade, the quiet repairs made along the way. Each mark is a record of work done and time passed, something no reproduction can replicate. This is the essence of true workwear, shaped by years of use and improved by it, offering depth, character and authenticity that only comes with age.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
