1980s | Workwear | Chore Jacket – Faded Blue - XS/S

Description:

Item: 1980s chore jacket constructed from sturdy cotton twill, finished in a deep blue that has softened and faded through years of use. Features a button front, classic workwear collar, chest pocket and large lower patch pockets, with light internal padding giving added warmth without bulk.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Unbranded / workwear issue

Condition: Good vintage condition with pronounced, honest wear throughout. Fading, tonal shifts and small marks speak to real working life, while the jacket remains structurally sound and fully wearable. The padding is intact and the piece retains its shape and function.

Provenance Note:
This is workwear at its most expressive. The colour has moved with time, the fabric has relaxed into itself, and the wear tells a quiet story of repetition and purpose. Nothing here is accidental and nothing could be convincingly reproduced. Jackets like this were shaped by labour, not design briefs, and that is precisely where their beauty lies. A lived-in, resolved piece that carries depth, warmth and authenticity in equal measure.

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.
