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 provided 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.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

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.

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!

Where shall I begin? My cuz and I went because we lost everything in the fire! Trent greeted us, Carmen helped me snd Allison my cuz. They treated us like Gold! We both felt very special! What a gem of a place! Everything I took home fit. The clothes were fabulous but Trent was so cool and cute, Carmen was so very helpful going out if her way for me and Allison helped my cousin hand pick his new wardrobe and not to mention she was gorgeous to boot! Thank you Quirk, Thanks for going above and beyond and for restoring my faith in humanity! Margo and Raul

I had a really good experience at Quirk. Its located in DTLA which is known to give you headaches with parking. Luckily there were several fairly priced garage options on the same block. The shop is located on the second floor of this cool, early 20th century style building. I love vintage buildings so I was hyped before I even stepped into Quirk. But once inside I was really digging the vibes. They have a really selection of vintage, modern clothes for women and men. With assistance of the curator, Melynda, I was able to grab a few items for an upcoming headshot session. I didn't have to break the bank as the items I purchased were from a $20 rack. I will def go again. I highly recommend checking it out.

I volunteered at Quirk all afternoon today, and there is so much love and support alive in that space. They are overwhelmed with so many incredible donations and every single thing is being sorted and placed directly into the free shop where fire victims can come shop and get what they need. All items are the same quality you would find in a thrift store like Buffalo Exchange. There were volunteers helping people find clothing items that fit and served their needs while they’re grappling with the loss of their homes and belongings. There are so many ways fire victims need support and this is one of them! Thank you Quirk and the other amazing organization and businesses stepping up to help our community!

Melynda totally saved the day! She came on a magical unicorn and brought me my dress! I was searching for a dress for a wedding that went with their Great Gatsby theme and was totally not sure where to begin and what to wear. She helped me find a necklace and a dress here at the shop that was absolutely perfect! I got a gold and gunmetal tassel necklace and a robin egg's blue lace Tracy Reese dress. She was even kind enough to alter the shoulders for me since the wedding was the day of! They even had a funny wedding card that for the bride and groom! Mission accomplished, now just have to get a scarf or headpiece for my head to complete the theme and Melynda gave me some tips!! Will be back for next time when I need her expertise. They have an always shifting collection of curated vintage and new clothing. Love Quirk LA!

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.
