Extremely rare Felco New York varsity jacket from the early 1950s, a genuine custom order piece featuring a chainstitched “Coach Purdy” name tag hidden inside the pocket, a detail often reserved for bespoke team or coaching jackets during the post-war athletic era. Made in U.S.A. with a 100% reprocessed wool body in mustard gold, contrasted with natural cream leather sleeves and striped rib-knit cuffs. Features “RAU Co.” branded snap buttons, quilted pink satin lining, and reinforced welt pockets with leather trim.
This jacket embodies the true spirit of mid-century American sportswear, individually ordered, not mass-produced, and built to last decades. Signs of patina and lining discoloration add to its authentic aged charm, telling the story of real field use and heritage craftsmanship.
Condition: Good vintage condition, lining shows age-related wear and staining. Some scuffs and marks on leather sleeves. Size: Tagged 42
