50s Vintage Work Jacket Salt & Pepper Gray - M/L

This salt & pepper work jacket dates back to the late 1950s/early 1960s. The open collar gives this model a distinctive and elegant look, a rare feature to find in a work jacket.

The jacket features a Talon zipper and retains all its original tags, including the manufacturer's name "KC Custom Uniform Co.," the location "Kansas City, Missouri," and the previous owner's name. The gray color was typically worn by postal service workers of the era.

The condition of the jacket is almost flawless, with small imperfections in the cotton that do not detract from the overall appearance.

The cuffs have leather reinforcements internally.

Extremely rare item.

Dating Details

Although the jacket is dated "1965", it is believed to have been produced in the 1950s, considering the silhouette and materials used.

The "Custom Tailors Union Label" is still present, lending further authenticity to the product.

Union Label Information:

Historical sources indicate that the union disbanded around 1914; however, this jacket does not date from that era. It is common for tailors to use union labels from earlier periods on garments made in later years.
