[~60's] British Vintage Detachable Hood Yellow Cotton Satin Mountaineering Jacket

This is a "detachable hood yellow cotton satin mountaineering jacket" made in England, estimated to be around the 1960s.

A mid-century British vintage piece that has the rationality of being a "mountain tool" and has been translated into a cool appearance.

The first thing that catches your eye is this bright yellow shell.
In terms of fashion, it's a strong color, but the reason behind it is probably because it can be found in the mountains.

The color is designed to ensure visibility in times of distress or in bad weather, but it also functions as an overwhelming presence when worn on the street.

The details are packed with practicality that only mountain equipment can offer.

The hood is detachable with a snap button closure.
You can take it off or put it on depending on the weather and layering, and you can also control the volume that comes with a hood.

In the middle of the jacket, there is a hand warmer pocket that restores the temperature the moment you insert your hand.

In addition, there is a large flap pocket at the hem where you can throw tools and gloves.
It has a great taste as a "mountain storage", but on the other hand, it works well as a rough cut when styling.

There is also a vertical zip pocket on the back hem, which is interesting because it seems like a so-called "game pocket" idea.
While it looks minimalistic, the design that releases the capacity to the back is a British style that prioritizes practicality.

There are action pleats on the back shoulders to ensure range of motion.
It doesn't strain your back when you put your arms out in front of you, and it leaves plenty of room for movement as an outerwear.

The sleeve ends are double-layered with knit ribs on the inside of the outer cuff.
It is designed to block cold air while also improving the fit when worn, which is a point that makes a difference in the experience more than the appearance.

The front has a double structure with a zip fastener and button closure.
The zip slider uses a zip manufactured by the British company ``AERO''.

This item uses "100% cotton" fabric.

The weave is a dense and supple cotton satin derived from satin.
It is not stiff like canvas, but stands up beautifully when exposed to the wind.

The densely packed texture gives it a windproof feel that is typical of mountaineering at the time.

The color isA bright yellow color typical of England.

Since it is cotton satin, it casts shadows when exposed to light, and the yellow "surface" does not look flat, creating a gradation of light and shade depending on the viewing angle.
This one point alone gives it an elegant and strong look that goes beyond being flashy.

Furthermore, the red quilted lining on the inside enhances the vibrancy of the yellow.
The red that peeks out when you open it up strengthens the "gear" feel, and when you close it, the yellow takes center stage.

The color design is both rugged and catchy, and is very British.

As a result, it can be said that the piece is not flashy, but instead embodies the "persuasive power of colors created by necessity."

I cannot confirm the size description, but I think it corresponds to "M" in Japanese size.

Looking at the actual size, I think it's a golden size that fits the Japanese body type, so I think people with a wide range of body types can wear it.

There are signs of use such as dirt, fraying, small holes, tears, and repair marks, but there is no major damage that would cause problems with wear, so I think it can still be worn.

An unsigned vintage piece like this one is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I think it's a gem that you won't find very often even if you look for it, so if you're interested, don't miss this opportunity.
