[Description]
An exceptionally rare, archival-grade certified authentic 1950s original American vintage zip-up short-cut utility work jacket. Sculpted from ultra-durable, high-density whipped cord fabric, this piece features a distinctively textured, heavy-duty ribbed weave built to withstand industrial friction. Rendered in a beautifully aged green palette, its stark historic character is elevated by authentic personalized mid-century traits: a custom cursive "Mike" chain-stitch script opposite a traditional "MATLICK" organizational chest shield. Boasting the fiercely coveted boxy, wide-cropped proportions with structured drop shoulders, this out-of-print utility grail serves as a definitive centerpiece for premium vintage menswear historians and discerning global denim/workwear curators.
[Condition & Notices]
- Structural & Textile Evaluation: Sourced from a curated private collection. The thick whipcord textile preserves reliable structural weight and seam integrity. Faint generalized sun-fading, edge friction wear along the collar and cuff perimeters, localized micro-scuffs, and minor organic thread chafing are naturally present from decades of historical utility.
- Component Integrity: The heavy metal front slider track remains fully intact, engaging firmly with smooth horizontal tension. The interior lining and pocket bags show standard vintage aging with zero massive structural tears or foundational dry-rot contamination.
- Please thoroughly review all provided high-resolution photographs and cross-reference flat-laid measurements against your existing cropped garments to independently verify structural shape, fit metrics, and final cosmetic textures before purchasing. All sales final.
