A German-made hooded jacket in blue cotton and polyester, circa 1950s.
A piece bearing the color and design sensibilities found in Glenfelder walker jackets and outdoor wear. The vivid royal blue—rarely seen elsewhere—is the true appeal here.
Constructed from cotton and Terylene, a crisp blended fabric with a natural body. Terylene being a proprietary name for polyester-based synthetic fiber, you might simply think of this as cotton-polyester blend.
A hood fixed at the neck and hand-warmer pockets at the waist—details marked by their essential simplicity.
The zipper features Riri sliders—the sort of detail that matters to those who care about vintage with intention.
Worn without pretense, thrown on casually, this jacket reveals its true character.
As a counterpoint to tailored, formal dressing—a tie, pressed lines—it holds its own with understated wit.
The fit runs small, suiting those of slighter build without compromise.
There is visible wear—some stitch separation, a button lost—yet nothing that compromises wearability. Still very much a working piece.
A jacket of good color and good proportion.
The sort of thing that does not often appear, should you find yourself searching. Worth considering if it speaks to you.
