order This is a vintage windbreaker jacket dating to the late 1950s or very early 1960s. The jacket has a hood, does up with a Clix brass metal zipper and is made with a faille (fine grosgrain) water resistant fabric. It is printed in two tones of blue, white and black with an abstract pattern that looks to me to be whirlpools - obviously this is meant to wear for sailing or during somewhat rainy weather. There is a zippered slant pocket built into either side and the hood secures with two drawstrings - there is also a drawstring through the bottom that ties at the front. The cuffs close with a button. It is unlined.
Label: Celebrity Sportswear Montreal
Sizing: No size is indicated, and although this should fit a large size, please rely on the following measurements for fit (compare measurements to similar jacket that you might own):
Shoulders: 17 1/2” across from shoulder/sleeve seam to shoulder/sleeve seam
Sleeves: 23” long from shoulder/sleeve seam to edge of the cuff
Sleeve Inseam: 21 1/2” long
Chest: 42” around, taken under the arms
Bottom: 40” around
Overall length: 21 1/2“, measured flat at the back from the neck seam
Condition: This windbreaker is in very good condition, with no pronounced wear, tear or staining - there is a bit of moisture staining to the label and one spot on the interior (see close-up photo), very minor - a careful laundering treatment probably would eliminate this.
This is a wonderful vintage windbreaker, not often seen - perfect for sailing, great look!
