80s Striped Work Jacket Navy/Grey

Relaxed cut work jacket in lightweight wool. Features a slightly cropped length with a wide, boxy body, neat convertible collar, concealed button placket, welt chest and side pockets, and an unlined interior.

Gorgeous piece from early-mid 80s Y's for men, an era characterized by slightly offbeat proportions and straighter, more utilitarian cuts. The wide body creates a generous sense of volume that drapes and folds naturally for an effortless, carefree silhouette. The fabric is the focus here - intricately woven from light grey and muted navy yarns with subtle gradations and organic irregularities throughout. Loosely woven and breathable, the depth and character of the textile is something rarely encountered today, a tangible expression of Japanese textile craftsmanship from a bygone era. An interesting hybrid between a shirt and a light jacket, offering plenty of versatility in styling. Looks particularly nice layered underneath tailoring or heavier outerwear, with just a hint of the stripes showing through for subtle visual interest. Equally suited as a lightweight throw-on over a tee come spring. Recommended for a size Small-Medium.
