The Style

Windbreakers became widely popular in the 1960s and have remained a staple in casual outerwear. Originally designed to protect against wind chill while maintaining a lightweight and breathable profile, windbreakers were embraced for their versatility. The boxy fit and sleek design reflect a blend of 1980s and 1990s fashion trends, where oversized, structured outerwear was in vogue.

The Features

• Material: Heavy and comfortable, likely nylon or a similar synthetic blend, ensuring durability and protection.
• Design: Sleek white colorway with a boxy fit, combining both vintage and modern aesthetics.
• Functionality: Offers wind resistance and comfort, making it ideal for casual wear or outdoor activities.

What Makes it Vintage?

• Made in USA

Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterward. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!

• Single Tag

The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.

• Embroidered Tag

Embroidered tags have become a trademark of vintage pieces since companies began to print tags in order to cut costs in the 80s and 90s.

Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
