This vintage windbreaker from the 1970s is a testament to Caulfeild’s enduring legacy in Canadian apparel.

Established in 1886 in Toronto, Caulfeild began as a retailer of British woolens and evolved into a prominent manufacturer by the 1920s. By the 1970s, the company had secured approximately 30% of the Canadian market for robes and loungewear, reflecting its commitment to quality and style. It was widely respected for its tailoring and quality materials. By the mid-20th century, the brand had moved from its early roots in British imports to become a staple in Canadian closets, especially known for robes, outerwear, and lounge garments with enduring construction and subtle, refined styling.

Moving forward, the 1970s marked a period of significant change in men’s fashion, with a shift towards more casual and functional attire. Windbreakers became popular for their practicality and were often seen in neutral tones like this one, allowing for seamless integration into everyday wardrobes. This Caulfeild jacket captures that essence, offering a piece that is both reflective of its time and timeless in appeal.

The silhouette is relaxed but clean, with straight lines, a lightly structured collar, full zipper front, and slash pockets at the hip. The lightweight fabric offers just enough protection for wind or cool spring and autumn air, making it ideal for transitional weather, weekend travel, or as a light top layer over vintage denim or trousers.

A Caulfeild piece like this jacket speaks to that legacy—designed not for flash, but for form, fit, and long wear.
