R.C. Magnum’s
Vintage 1980s Swing West Puffer Ski Jacket Vest Zip Combo, Brown Chevron, Med*
Removable zippered sleeves for vest & jacket options.
**PROJECT-IN NEED OF REPAIRS**
In pretty rough condition- but it’s such a cool piece! I hope someone out there can save or reproduce it. It’s well made, but it saw some action!
The major repair issues are with front pockets- it appears as though during wear someone uséd the pockets often, causing the inner pocket fabric to pull away from the outer shell. The right pocket is the worst, in need of substantial repair & the left could use a stitch or two for prevention- it looks like it’s starting to do the same.
There is some discoloration/staining (see photos)- the most unfortunate one on the chevron front chest. There is a slightly noticeable dark stain on the back beneath right shoulder blade on outer shell, & some light & dark staining on inner liner.
There also is wear between zipper and inner chest pocket, consistent with the wearer reaching in. The left front pocket metal zipper pull is missing.
One of the zippers that connect the sleeve to the vest needs to be sewed back down a few inches under armpit near connection (on the vest piece.)
Was a difficult item to photograph to accurately show color. Item colorway is more accurately shown in main photo, to be described as a chocolate brown & tan.
4 pockets total, Talon zippers- all zippers remain functional. Large pocket/pouch built into back inner liner with Velcro closure. One small inner chest pocket with zipper. Detachable sleeves can possibly be reversed to change jacket appearance.
