Vintage 1950s Windbreaker Sailing Jacket Water Resistant M L

$120.00

Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing

This is a vintage 1950s windbreaker or sailing jacket dating to the late 1950s or very early 1960s.  It is probably meant for a woman, but a man may be able to also use it.  This 1950s windbreaker has a hood, does up with a Clix brass metal zipper and is made with a faille (fine grosgrain) water resistant fabric. It is printed in two tones of blue, white and black with an abstract pattern that looks to me to be whirlpools - obviously this is meant to wear for sailing or during somewhat rainy weather.  There is a zippered slant pocket built into either side and the hood secures with two drawstrings - there is also a drawstring through the bottom that ties at the front.  The cuffs close with a button.  This 1950s windbreaker is unlined. 

Label:  Celebrity Sportswear Montreal

Sizing: No size is indicated on this 1950s windbreaker, and although this should fit a large size, please rely on the following measurements for fit (compare measurements to similar jacket that you might own):

Shoulders:  17 1/2” across from shoulder/sleeve seam to shoulder/sleeve seam

Sleeves: 23” long from shoulder/sleeve seam to edge of the cuff

Sleeve Inseam: 21 1/2” long

Chest: 42” around, taken under the arms

Bottom: 40” around

Overall length: 21 1/2“, measured flat at the back from the neck seam

Condition:  This 1950s windbreaker is in very good condition, with no pronounced wear, tear or staining - there is a bit of moisture staining to the label and one spot on the interior (see close-up photo), very minor - a careful laundering treatment probably would eliminate this.

This is a wonderful vintage 1950s windbreaker, not often seen - perfect for sailing, great look!
