1989 | Italian Military | Field Jacket | Olive - S

Description:

Item: Italian military field jacket in plain olive, with four-pocket front, concealed fastening, epaulettes and elasticated waist shaping. A more structured field-jacket design than the later plainer examples, with a straight practical cut and a slightly boxy military silhouette that still keeps a neat shape through the body.

Era: 1989

Brand: Italian Military

Condition: Good vintage condition with light signs of age and service wear consistent with use. Presents well overall, with the kind of honest wear that adds character and suits military outerwear perfectly.

Provenance Note: A strong earlier Italian issue example with a bit more visual presence thanks to the four-pocket front and shaped waist. These plain olive military jackets always do well because they offer real utility and provenance without feeling overdesigned, and this one has that balance nicely. Easy to wear, properly military, and much stronger than modern copies trying to imitate the look.

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, bulk, or layering.
