A standout 1970s red and white striped seersucker blazer with crisp summer tailoring
and a graphic candy-stripe effect. The jacket features a classic notched lapel, 
two-button front, chest pocket, lower flap pockets, button cuffs, and a lightweight
puckered seersucker-style texture that gives the piece breathability and visual 
dimension.

The shape reads strongly 1970s: slightly wider lapel, longer sport coat cut, structured
shoulder, and a playful striped fabric associated with warm-weather tailoring of
the era. Red and white seersucker has a particularly bold resort/prep quality, making
this a great statement blazer for spring and summer styling, event dressing, or 
a more editorial menswear look.

Style it with cream trousers, worn denim, loafers, high-waisted corduroys, or layered
over a printed shirt as shown. It also works beautifully as a gender-fluid tailored
piece for anyone looking for a fitted-to-relaxed blazer with color and structure.

Shown on TY, who is 5’10”, 175 lb, and typically wears a modern men’s Medium / 40R
jacket. On TY, the blazer fits close-to-true through the shoulders with a tailored
body and slightly short sleeve, suggesting a best modern fit around men’s Medium/
40R.

Best estimated as men’s Medium / 40R.

Based on TY’s stated modern size and the way the blazer fits in the photos, this
appears best for a modern men’s Medium or 40R. The shoulders sit relatively close,
the body has a tailored fit, and the sleeves appear slightly cropped on TY’s 33″
sleeve measurement. For a shorter arm length, the sleeve may fit closer to standard.

**Condition Notes**
 Good vintage condition. No major flaws are visible in the images
provided. Because the jacket is light-colored with high-contrast red/white striping,
