This is wonderful! Made famous by Marlon Brandon in *On The Waterfront* the wool utility jacket is a classic piece of American clothing--and this is a truly lovely example!
Made in the USA by Pendleton (founded in 1863) this lovely jacket is cut from pure virgin wool is a lovely versatile blue and black buffalo plaid. It features two slash handwarmer pockets on the front, a Thinsulate quilted lining for warmth, and knit cuffs for warmth. It has raglan sleeves and a partially elasticated waist (at the sides) for a snug fit.
The zipper is lovely and fluid, although it does "stick" a little when you first pull it--nothing a sharp tug won't solve, or perhaps some minor oiling or leading. The zipper moves beautifully fluidly after the initial stick, though, and so this isn't a concern.
PLEASE NOTE: I've just tried the jacket on for sizing purposes, and discovered that the slight stickiness of the zipper all but disappears when you zip it while wearing it, so it's likely I just wasn't positioning the ends correctly when trying the zip with it off!
Asking just $45, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA!
