Vintage 1970s Gray Polyester Leisure Suit Jacket. (40 Reg slim)  Disco Retro Hipster

This disco era leisure suit jacket is very well-preserved. The material is a smooth polyester cloth. The cut of the jacket is slim with lightly padded almost natural shoulders, a full lining, and two side vents. It has one interior pocket and two side pockets. 

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No holes, no stains, or visible wear. Only lightly used. One tiny mark on the edge of the sleeve -it is nearly invisible, but see photos. The jacket has a stiff new feeling about it. From a smoke-free home. 

Maker: unbranded 

Material: No markings, but looks and feels like polyester.

Marked: No markings but measures to a 40 Reg slim.  

Since size markings may differ from maker to maker,

Please check measurements to your own well-fitting jacket / suit

A few words on sizing:  Since many suits aren't marked, I go by measurements to determine size.  Also be aware that sometimes a suit is marked, but it doesn't match the measurements. If you aren't sure of your size or the size of your own well-fitting jacket, there are a lot of guides on the internet to help you measure yourself and your jackets.  I use "askandyaboutclothes" "how to measure a men's suit jacket" as the basis for my measurements. I’m not affiliated with this guide, it just is the most user-friendly. Please take a little time to check your measurements, before you invest in a suit. 

No returns policy:  I carefully inspect each garment and report any flaws to prospective buyers.  I will not accept any returns simply because the buyer failed to read the description or look at the pictures. By reading this you accept the personal responsibility to purchase the item with this disclaimer in mind.  If you have a problem with your order, please contact me right away.

Green Initiative: 

 According to Scientific American “A 2016 report . . .  found that the reuse and recycling of textiles . . . saves the equivalent of 425 million pounds of CO2 annually, along with 19 billion gallons of water. That is equivalent to the CO2 expelled by around 42,000 cars each year and the annual water usage of about 174,000 American households, according to U.S. government estimates.” 

Green shipping:  I use the U.S. Postal Service to reduce the number of trucks on the road.  I also use recycled shipping bags or boxes whenever possible.
