Vinatge 80s Plaid Jacket

Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and sharply tailored tartan wool jacket

This original jacket dates to the late 1980s to early 1990s, a period recognised for strong tailoring and deliberate structure. Made from a dense woven wool, the fabric features a bold red tartan check intersected with black, navy, and fine yellow lines, creating a clear, high-contrast pattern with excellent definition. The textile holds its shape well, supporting the jacket’s structured construction.

The silhouette is defined by pronounced padded shoulders and a clean, fitted body, giving the piece a confident, architectural shape. The front is styled with a double-breasted arrangement, detailed with decorative gold-tone buttons that sit symmetrically across the chest. Navy trim runs vertically along the front panels, visually sharpening the lines and framing the check pattern. A crisp white pointed collar insert sits at the neckline, paired with a raised collar stand that adds a formal finish.

Long sleeves are neatly tailored and finished with white contrast cuffs, echoing the collar detail and maintaining balance throughout the design. The jacket is cut to sit at the waist, with a cropped length that emphasises the structured proportions while keeping the overall shape precise and controlled. Professionally cleaned, the piece remains in excellent condition, with the wool fabric, trim, and buttons all well preserved.
