1970's/80's Banana Republic green utility jacket

Born in the early 20th century as practical military and expedition wear, the safari jacket became a symbol of 'adventure' style. While its early associations with colonialism make its history complicated, the jacket has since been reclaimed and reimagined by countless designers and now we know this jacket to be a timeless piece of modern fashion. Today, the renamed utility jacket is celebrated for its versatility, relaxed tailoring, and effortless chic — a heritage classic that continues to inspire. Made from a soft, light-weight dark green cotton that will only get better the more it ages. Throw it over anything, dress it up or down, and let it take you from late summer to autumn.   PERIOD: late 1970's early 1980's chest: 44' Waist: 44' but there is a cord so it can be cinched in Length: 35' MATERIAL: 100% cotton CONDITION: excellent Caprice is 5"4 with a waist measurement of 27" - US dress size 4/6 Please remember that vintage pieces have lived a life before yours — and may carry small signs of that journey.
