VINTAGE Authentic 1950s Wool Plaid Chore/Lumberjack Jacket SZ 42

This is a stunning and authentic mid-century men’s wool plaid car coat, made between 1956 and 1962 under the Deluxe Quality Outerwear label. A true example of postwar Americana, this coat features a bold red, tan, and green tartan wool shell, luxurious faux shearling lining and collar, and classic woven leather “football” buttons — all hallmarks of 1950s men’s outerwear design. The interior showcases a quilted rayon-acetate sleeve lining, bound seams, and hand-finished construction techniques typical of garments produced before the mid-1960s. With its roomy size 44 cut and slightly boxy silhouette, this piece was designed for layering over sweaters or sport jackets and embodies the rugged yet refined “car coat” style that defined the era. Whether worn as a statement piece, added to a vintage menswear collection, or styled for a heritage-inspired look, this is a timeless piece of American fashion history. Rare to find in this condition and size.
