［~80's］Italian Vintage Fireman Type Jacket Size.S

Circa 1980s, an Italian-made Fireman Type Jacket.

This particular piece was produced by Santini, the globally recognised cycle wear brand.

Santini was founded in 1965 by Pietro Santini in Lallio, Bergamo Province, Lombardy, Italy.
It began as a small family operation, born from Santini's passion for cycling and sportswear.

Throughout the 1970s, the brand gained recognition through collaborations with cycling teams and professional cyclists.

Known for their high quality and innovative design, Santini products became the choice of many professional athletes.
Beginning with wool, the brand has continually evolved, introducing new materials and manufacturing techniques to remain at the forefront of sportswear innovation.

Today, Santini maintains its reputation for quality and innovation, trusted by cyclists from amateur to professional levels.

We present a Fireman Jacket from this esteemed global cycle wear brand, distinguished by its characteristic metal hooks on the front closure.

Originating from workwear worn by firefighters, the Fireman Jacket has become a perennial silhouette, interpreted by numerous contemporary brands.

The defining detail of a Fireman Jacket is undoubtedly the metal hook fastening—commonly known as the "fireman hook"—employed for front closure.

It is a distinctive design element, instantly recognisable and combining both function and aesthetic presence.

Substantial snap-button pockets are positioned symmetrically at both chest and hem, reflecting a utilitarian design philosophy.
The pocket proportions are adequate for carrying lighter items with ease.

The front opening employs a dual-layer construction with metal hook fasteners and snap buttons in a hidden placket arrangement.

The collar is engineered to stand high, protecting the neck, whilst a drawcord at the hem guards against wind penetration—refined details reflecting genuine cyclist's requirements.

This piece is constructed from a cotton and Regina fabric blend.

Cotton's flexibility and breathability are balanced with Regina's durability and water resistance, creating a versatile all-weather garment engineered for performance across conditions.

The inherent suppleness and subtle lustre of Regina fabric imbue the jacket with a refined quality.

The colour is navy—understated and adaptable.

It integrates readily with any aesthetic and transcends seasonal consideration.

White stitching against the navy grounds provides gentle contrast, enhancing visual interest.
Simple yet timeless in execution, it is a piece that will serve across decades.

A garment combining quality and design sensibility; immune to fashion's fluctuation and well-suited to contemporary dress.

Marked as size S.
In Japanese sizing, this approximates M to L.

The actual measurements suggest a versatile fit for Japanese proportions, accommodating a range of builds.
It reads equally well worn fitted or oversized.

There is evidence of wear and patina, though no significant damage impairs its wearability.

Should you have been seeking such a piece, we invite your consideration.
