1980s | John Weitz | Blazer | Grey – XL

Description: Item: 1980s John Weitz blazer in a grey textured weave, with a classic two-button front, notched lapels and flap pockets. The label states 100% silk, though this is a heavier, slubbed suiting silk rather than the soft dress-silk most people tend to associate with the fabric. It has a relaxed 1980s cut with a broader shoulder line and easy drape through the body. Era: 1980s Brand: John Weitz Condition: Very good vintage condition with light general wear consistent with age. The outer fabric presents well with strong texture and no obvious structural issues visible. Provenance Note: John Weitz pieces sit nicely within the smarter end of 1980s American menswear, where classic tailoring was often given a more relaxed, textured finish. The slubbed silk gives this blazer far more substance and visual depth than modern lightweight silk tailoring, making it a strong standalone jacket rather than a formal suit orphan. A good piece for someone who wants period menswear with a bit of fabric interest, but still very wearable. Measurements: Size on garment: N/A Our modern sizing estimate: XL Shoulder to shoulder: 20" Pit to pit: 23" Inner sleeve to cuff: 18" Under collar to lower back: 32" Condition Notes: Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed. Sizing Notes: Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit. Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale: 31–34″ = XXS 35–36″ = XS 37–38″ = S 39–40″ = M 41–42″ = L 43–44″ = XL 45–46″ = XXL 47–48″ = 3XL For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, bulk, or layering.
