1990s – 2000s | Multicolour Space-Dye Stripe Festival Hooded Zip Knit Jacket - Made in Nepal - 18

Description:

Item: Hooded zip-through knit jacket in a multicolour space-dye stripe across the full body and sleeves — reds, pinks, blues, greens, mustard, and navy throughout. Fleece-lined interior with a black hood lining. Contrast blush pink leather trim to hood edge, zip, and pockets. Two lower patch pockets. Drawstring hem.

Era: 1990s – 2000s

Brand: Made in Nepal

Condition: Very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.

Provenance Note: The space-dye stripe knit jacket is one of the defining export pieces of the Nepali cottage industry that ran through the 1990s and into the 2000s — hand-knitted in heavily constructed knit, fleece-lined for genuine warmth, and finished with leather trim details that reflect the care taken in their production. The multicolour palette here is particularly well-resolved, the stripes shifting organically through the yarn rather than following a rigid repeat. Pieces like this were built for outdoor life and have the substance to show for it.

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
