Description:

Item:
Original Italian military field jacket dated 1989, constructed in classic olive service fabric with traditional four-pocket front layout including buttoned chest pockets and large lower cargo pockets. Features epaulettes with star insignia, concealed front closure and an internal waist drawcord allowing the jacket to be worn fitted or relaxed. This example retains the original name tape and insignia, adding to the authentic service character. The cut is the relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette typical of late Cold War European field jackets.

Era:
1989

Brand:
Italian Military

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains strong with good colour retention and only light, honest wear from use. Original insignia and name tape remain intact, adding character and authenticity without affecting wearability.

Provenance Note:
Italian military field jackets from the 1980s sit at an interesting point in military clothing history, retaining the classic four-pocket field design developed decades earlier while being produced during the final years of the Cold War. Pieces dated to this period carry genuine service character and remain highly wearable today, combining practical military construction with the timeless silhouette that has influenced civilian field jackets for generations.

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.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
