70s USPS Letter Carrier Jacket - L/XL

For over 150 years, the men and women of the United States Postal Service have delivered mail to every corner of the country and in every climate. The postman is an instantly recognizable figure in the American imagination: honesty and solid values.

The Postal Service's identity and perception are closely tied to its employees' attire. Like military uniforms, USPS uniforms must adapt to repetitive physical tasks, withstand a wide variety of weather conditions, and, at the same time, maintain a dignified appearance. The historical evolution of Postal Service uniforms, in this regard, is truly remarkable.

This is a postman's jacket, produced approximately in the 1970s, with a Talon zip. The loose fit is one of the garment's main strengths: large fits have become increasingly rare, as have this type of jacket, even in the United States. In Europe, it is a truly unique piece.

The color is a gray tending towards blue.

Made in USA, produced by United States Uniform Co. Boxy fit.

Condition: excellent, sleeve slightly unstitched and small imperfection on one shoulder (photos 18-19).
