Description
This late 1960s or early 70s mod style jacket or raincoat is made of lightweight black nylon, but with a bit of poly-fill to add warmth—like a very lightweight puffer jacket. The jacket closes in front with a row of silver-tone metal snaps, plus more snaps to fasten the slit at the back, from waist to hem. The half-belt (in front only) can be adjusted with the metal buckle. White topstitching trims the pointy notched collar, the vertical seaming from shoulders to hem, the 2 patch pockets, the bracelet-length sleeves, and the belt. The jacket is intended for a moderately close fit at bust and waist, then flares out from waist to hem. The relatively thin layer of polyester fiber fill is encased between the outer black nylon fabric and the inner, 2-tone nylon lining (see photo of jacket inside out). It is hand-washable--or machine washable on a gentle cycle inside a net bag, since that is what I did! Lay flat or hang to dry.
In very good condition, this stylish mod windbreaker jacket has one small worn area, not quite a hole, in the left pocket (see close-up photo). There are no other issues to note. This true vintage, circa 1969-70 jacket is lightweight but still somewhat warm, so it will be great for travel, or for wearing in a warmer-weather fall and winter climate.
