1940s/50s Heavy Satin Equestrian Jacket Men's Size S/M

四五十年代厚緞面馬術夾克   男式尺寸S/M

This is a spectacular satin/acetate rodeo jacket that would feel right at home cruising the Strip in Las Vegas, crossing the street in Shibuya, or hunting for snacks the Ningxia Night Market in Taipei. (In fact, I love it so much, don't be surprised if you try to buy it, and I tell you it's not available!) It's unbranded, but I assume it was handmade sometime in the late 1940s or 1950s, judging from the style. The colors are vibrant, and the fabric is strong. Despite appearances, the fabric is really quite heavy and thick, and it drapes beautifully. Considering the fabric and jacket size, it was likely not worn as a jockey silk. The cut of the jacket is similar to an early model denim trucker jacket, such as a Levi's 507xx. There are some stains on the green fabric that are evident in the photos, and there are many oxidation stains at various places on the front, back, and sleeves of the jacket, most of which are very small. There is also staining on the inside of the jacket, especially along the waist band. There is some minor snagging in places, too. Despite these flaws, however, this is one of my favorite pieces. It's unique; it's in great shape; and it really makes a statement! It fits like like a U.S. men's size 40. I am 5' 8" tall, 165 lbs, with a 39" chest, and it fits me perfectly. Please consult photos and measurements for more details.

這是一件令人贊嘆的的緞面/醋酸布馬術夾克。無論你是在拉斯維加斯的大道上巡遊，或是穿越澀谷的馬路，亦或是在台北的寧夏夜市上尋找小吃，穿上它都那麼恰如其分。（老實說，我本人超愛這件夾克，如果你想買它，而我告訴你沒貨了，請不要驚訝）。它沒有品牌，但從樣式上看，我認為它是在1940年代末或1950年代某個時候手工製作的佳作。它顏色艷麗、面料結實。然而面料雖然厚實，垂感卻依舊很好。考慮到面料和夾克的尺寸，它很可能不是正統的賽馬騎師服。它的剪裁類似於早期的牛仔卡車司機夾克的設計，如Levi's 507xx。在照片中可以明顯看到綠色的面料上有一些污漬，其他在夾克的前面、後面和袖子有一些小的氧化痕跡。外套內側也有污漬，特別是沿著腰帶的位置。還有些地方有鈎破的痕跡。這是我最喜歡的作品之一，儘管有這樣那樣的瑕疵，但它獨一無二的設計和別緻的剪裁，瑕不掩瑜。它是美碼男士40碼。本人身高173cm，體重75kg，胸圍100cm，穿上正合身。更多細節請參考照片和尺寸。
