Can’t get more classic than this! It’s got all the bells and whistles: Classic tailoring – metal front zipper, slash pockets, adjustable button cuffs, adjustable stand collar. Mid-century modern fabric innovations – water-resistant, all weather, wash and wear, wrinkle resistant Dacron Polyester and Cotton blend.

Vintage Peters jacket, so perfectly preserved, so classic in every way. The style could have been sold in the 1950’s, 1960’s or 1970’s but the label places this one in the 1980’s. Probably that is the only thing that changed in a substantial way. Some old companies sold high quality garments in the same popular styles for decades.

This was a men’s jacket back in the day, though it’s really uni-sex. The little size tag that would hang below the label is gone, but it’s small – like a 36. Lucky me! It’s another keeper. Will be back soon with the final find. Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
