[~60's] Canadian Vintage Switching Suede Leather Mixed Wool Plaid Jacket

Estimated to be around the 1960s, made in Canada.Switching suede leather mixed woolIt will be a plaid jacket.

What's more than just a checkered jacket is the unexpected combination of the uplifting feeling of the soft wool blend and the quiet luster of the suede.

The first thing that catches your eye is the suede leather yoke that runs from the shoulders to the chest.

The front has a switching line reminiscent of Western style, giving the bustle of the check a contour and making your upper body look neat.
Furthermore, since the same yoke wraps around to the back, it has a ``persuasive look from the back'' that is not limited to just the front, which can be said to be a luxury typical of this era.

A suede-lined switch is also placed at the entrance of the hand warmer.

It's not just a reinforcement, but by inserting a plain side into the check, it becomes a great supporting role that organizes the overall amount of information.
The result is a balance that makes it easy to wear around town without being too rugged.
This is the essence of our individual.

The front has a snap button closure.

It has a flat surface that doesn't emphasize the metal fittings, so the charm of the pattern and transitions come to the fore.
It's easy to put on and take off, it feels like a shirt, and can be worn as an outer layer.

A "C & L" brand label is included on the inside of the neck.
The fact that the tag says "MADE IN CANADA" also indicates that this item was produced in Canada.

This model uses a fluffy, brushed "wool blend" check fabric for the body.

It has a fabric that contains air, like a blanket, and has a soft bulge that feels like you can feel the warmth from the moment you touch it.
Although there are no quality markings, the stiffness unique to wool is combined with the lightness reminiscent of acrylic blends, creating a mood that can be worn casually without hesitation.

The presence of suede leather is inserted at key points.

The dry leather surface overlaps with the fluff of the check, creating shadows just from the material itself, adding even more depth to the look.
The more you wear it, the more the color of the suede deepens and the check becomes softer and more undone.
Because of the different materials, you can also expect to enjoy the ``how to grow''.

The color is a multi-color specification based on white and navy colors.

At first glance, it seems lively, yet strangely adult-like.
The loose feel of white and the center of gravity of navy bring the whole thing together, and the thin color lines leave only the rhythm behind, creating a light expression.

When viewed up close, the layers of color become richer, and when viewed from a distance, they appear as blocks.
You can feel the fun of checking, where the impression changes depending on the distance.

Furthermore, by placing candy-colored brown suede, the temperature of the color scheme is calmed down a little, and the "cuteness" of the pattern is transformed into "bitterness".
It can be said to be an exquisite color balance that combines the gorgeousness of the check pattern with the calmness of the suede.

I cannot confirm the size description, but I think it corresponds to "L" 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 some signs of use such as dirt and scratches, but there is no major damage that would make it difficult to 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.
