This is a mens vintage 1970s plaid jacket made in a style similar to that worn by Herb Tarlek, the salesman for WKRP in Cincinnati, the television show. This 1970s plaid jacket is made with wide notched lapels and a two button closure. The shoulders are padded and there is a flapped pocket built into either side as well as a breast pocket. The sleeves have two button cuffs. The back has a 14 1/2” long back bottom centre vent. This 1970s plaid jacket is half lined.
Label: None - only the neck loop reads “Professionally Dry Clean Only”
Content label: None, but this is some sort of synthetic or blended wool woven fabric.
