Description

A vintage Hathaway OtherWear shirt jacket with a great textured open-weave look in tan, brown, cream, and subtle multicolor flecks. The fabric has a coarse basket-weave texture that gives the piece a natural, earthy feel while still reading polished and structured.

The cut has strong 1970s sportswear energy: pointed collar, shoulder epaulets, chest flap pockets, side pockets, straight hem, and brass-tone snap-style buttons down the front. It wears somewhere between a lightweight jacket, safari shirt, and tailored overshirt, making it an easy transitional layer over a patterned button-down, thin knit, or plain tee.

Hathaway was best known for shirting, and this OtherWear label expands that language into casual outerwear. The jacket keeps the clean, wearable ease of a shirt while adding enough structure and texture to stand on its own.

No clear size tag is shown in the photos. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this is best for a modern men’s M/L, approximately 40/42 chest, depending on desired fit. On Dean, it fits comfortably through the chest and body with a relaxed straight shape.

Shown on Dean with a printed shirt and light trousers. Listing is for the jacket only.

Fit Notes

No clear size tag is shown. Estimated modern fit is men’s M/L, approximately 40/42 chest.

Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, wears a men’s Medium shirt, 40L slim-fit suit, has a 40” chest, 36” sleeve, and 31/32” waist. On Dean, the jacket fits comfortably through the body with a relaxed straight shape and enough room to layer over a shirt.

Best for someone who wears a modern men’s Medium and wants an easy jacket fit, or a men’s Large who prefers a closer vintage shirt-jacket fit. Sleeve and body length should work especially well for taller wearers because Dean is 6’2” with a 36” sleeve.

Condition

Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The exterior presents well overall, with the textured woven fabric, collar, pockets, and hardware looking strong in the photos. The interior satin-finish lining shows visible age-related wear, including tearing, shredding, and separation near the lower lining and side areas. The jacket remains wearable, but the lining wear is part of the condition and is shown in the photos.

Styling Notes

Wear it open over a bold printed shirt for a full 1970s look, or keep it cleaner with a white tee, ribbed tank, or thin black knit. Works well with cream trousers, worn denim, brown cords, fatigues, or tailored shorts. The textured tan palette also pairs nicely with rust, olive, chocolate brown, navy, ivory, and washed black.

Shown with

Styled with a printed shirt and light trousers. Shirt and pants are styling pieces only and are not included unless listed separately.

Curation Note

Selected for its textured open-weave fabric, relaxed 1970s shirt-jacket shape, useful neutral palette, and strong styling potential. It has that easy vintage menswear quality that can read outdoorsy, art-school, or softly tailored depending on how it is worn.

Authenticity Note

Interior label reads Hathaway OtherWear with a Dry Clean Only care tag. Era is estimated based on the label, pointed collar, epaulets, snap-style hardware, shirt-jacket construction, textured woven fabric, and overall 1970s sportswear silhouette.

It was my 2nd or 3rd time browsing the site, and my first time purchasing from it. I was familiar with the site and brand (was recommended by a close friend of mine who has good taste), and decided to check it out. I liked the layout of the site, made it pretty easy to look for what I like, and found what I wanted in like 4 minutes after browsing. Paying was straightforward, I received the package in about 10 days (flat fee for shipping), and it fit pretty well. The shirt fit me well, and I liked the length of it which was longer than typical shirts, I appreciated the minimalism of it. All in all, a great purchase! 5 stars.

Went by on a Saturday with my daughter. Melynda was awesome and helpful, as always. We both found things we needed. What I appreciate about Melynda is the personal service and how she honestly cares about if something is "right" for you or not. She actually mended something I had just bought right on the spot (wouldn't let it leave with an almost loose button)! Appreciate her sense of style and will defiantly be headed back.

I am so thrilled with the lovely mirror I got from Quirk! It is just the right amount of vintage and unique that makes me so happy to have found this little gem of a shop in downtown. Melynda is a joy and I genuinely enjoyed my time in her shop

I've been coming to Quirk for years now. Some of my favorite pieces have come from her shop and I always get compliments. It's the perfect place to get something unique that not everyone has. Top quality items. One of my first pieces I bought from her is a vintage Armani blazer that has become a regular staple piece for me. Still in my rotation years later :) The shopping experience itself is always a treat (coming from someone who doesn't like shopping). Melynda is super welcoming and helpful if you're looking for something in particular. If she doesn't have it, it's likely she will soon, as she's regularly getting new inventory. Also, be sure to check out her shopping events!

I have volunteered at the Fire Relief Free Boutique founded by Melynda for over a month and the whole experience has been amazing, I have seen people affected by the fires leaving the free boutique with a smile on their face after the free shopping experience, that’s something that fulfills the soul. Melynda is a great leader with a big heart, I’m proud to be part of this beautiful project.

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I highly recommend supporting this local business. The owner Melynda has been so generous in helping out fire victims by creating a pop up free clothing boutique, and volunteering her time there. She definitely has a strong eye for fashion and a heart of gold, so I recommend stopping by and supporting her shop!

What a gem! The People's Free Boutique is such a wonderful idea to bring to the community and the volunteers couldn't be more genuine or friendly to the customers. It is very organized and easy to shop. I am so glad this resource exists.
