[~80's] Old CecilGee Linen Striped Jacket

Estimated to be around the 1980sThis is a "linen striped jacket" made by CecilGee.

CecilGee is a leading men'swear brand founded in London, England by founder Cecil Gee in 1929, and is a cutting-edge men'swear brand that combines the traditions of British men's clothing with subculture.

Since its founding, under the vision of a "style revolution about walking around the city," the company launched sophisticated suit styles aimed at young people in London from the 1950s to the 1960s, and has made its name all over the world as a brand that symbolizes later mod culture.

Cecil Gy originally began his career as a tailor who handled military uniforms and practical clothing, and after World War II he set up a shop in the heart of SoHo, focusing on youth culture with a sensibility that reads the atmosphere of the times.
The proposal, which was based on traditional tailoring, was called the "intersection of classical and street."

The greatest appeal of this is that it simultaneously expresses the "fineness of British Tailoring" and the "sensitivity of urban culture."
The designs, such as tight suits, short jackets and vivid shirts, became the "uniform" of jazz, rock and roll, as well as mods, as styles that resonate with music.

FurthermoreCecil Gy later opened multiple stores under the umbrella of Moss Bros, and while ensuring that style has become widely popular, especially in London, he established a position in the history of fashion that can be said to be the origin of "gentlemen who wear the streets."
It is passed down as the roots of modern British brands, following Paul Smith and Ben Sherman.

Cecil G's style is still alive and well in vintage markets and fashion archives, and is a source of coloring the chapters of "Fashion as a Culture."

ThatIntroducing a jacket made from high-quality linen material by Cecil G.

At first glance, this piece looks untidy, but the details that shine everywhere make a firm impression.

The collar features a tailor-dry lapel collar.

The exquisite balanced design combines the lightness of a shirt with the dignity of a jacket, making the neck look even more luxurious.

A patch pocket is placed around the waist, combining straight and curved lines.

The matching stripes and the soft lines with rounded corners show off a subtle yet highly perfection.

The buttons lined up at the front have a tortoiseshell-like marble design.

Going beyond just a fastener, the natural swaying luster gives the fabric a deeper look, leaving a small aftertaste in the classic outfit.

The overall stripe pattern is a two-color arrangement with changes in both line width and spacing.

It has depth and rhythm that cannot be contained within just vertical stripes, and naturally guides your gaze vertically.
In addition, the pattern is neatly arranged all the way to the back, maintaining a 360-degree silhouette no matter where you look at it.

Although it is modest, the more you look at it, the more you can see the "how to put your hands on it."
This vintage jacket features a silent sense of beauty that quietly blends into your outfit.

This individual is luxuriously made from "linen," a natural material.

The rough texture of the fabric, woven with thick thread, conveys the individuality of the material the moment you touch it.

The dry-touch texture and breathability unique to linen provide a comfortable fit, especially during the spring and summer seasons.
Another major attraction is the beauty of the age, as the fibers become soft and loosen by wearing and washing repeatedly, and the fibers grow to your own "face" unique to you.

The colors are based on grey beige, and are made up of three colors, with thin stripes of beige and black running vertically.

It is natural yet visually deep, and combines with the unevenness of the linen material to create shadows.

Despite its modest color palette, the color scheme balance that quietly exudes individuality is truly a choice to "feel like an atmosphere."

Although the size indication cannot be confirmed, I think it falls under the "M" size for Japanese sizes.

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.

Although there is some signs of wear due to age, this item is in mint condition, with no noticeable stains or scratches.
Of course, there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think it's still possible to wear it.

Founded in 1929, "CecilGee" embodies the fusion of British men's clothing and subculture.

This item, which arrived from this historic brand, is a piece that combines elegance and lightness, harmonious with high-quality linen material and delicate stripe patterns.

The tailoring shines everywhere, from the lapels and pockets to the glossy look of the marble buttons.
This individual, which is modest yet has a solid level of perfection, has a "air" that you can't experience today.

For those looking for clothes that are woven with the times and culture. Don't miss this opportunity.
