A strong vintage McGregor safari-style jacket in rich brown cotton velvet with a soft plush finish and easy 1970s attitude. The color sits in a warm chocolate / tobacco brown, with the natural nap variation and light catching quality that makes cotton velvet so good in motion.
The jacket features a pointed collar, front button closure, chest flap pockets, lower flap pockets, long sleeves, and a fully lined interior. The silhouette lands somewhere between a shirt jacket, safari jacket, and casual blazer alternative: structured enough to dress up, but relaxed enough to wear open over a printed shirt or simple tee.
McGregor was a major name in mid-to-late 20th-century American sportswear, especially known for accessible casual menswear with strong everyday wearability. This piece has that same foundation, but the brown cotton velvet gives it a much more elevated, after-dark feel.
Marked size 42. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this best fits a modern men’s M/L to L, approximately 42 chest, depending on desired fit. On Dean, it fits comfortably through the chest and body with a clean vintage jacket shape.
Shown styled with sunglasses, a red shirt, gray trousers, and a clutch. Listing is for the jacket only.

Fit Notes
Marked size 42. Estimated modern fit is men’s M/L to L, approximately 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 chest and body with a clean vintage jacket shape. Best for a modern men’s Medium/Large who wants an easy jacket fit, or a modern Large who prefers a neater vintage fit.
Because Dean is tall with a 36” sleeve, the sleeve and body length are useful references for taller wearers.
Condition
Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The brown cotton velvet exterior presents strongly overall, with natural nap variation, light surface wear, and gentle creasing typical of vintage velvet. The interior lining shows visible age-related wear, including small holes, seam stress, and fraying near the inner underarm/lining area. The jacket remains wearable and visually strong, but the lining wear is part of the condition and is reflected in the grade. Please review photos carefully.
Styling Notes
Wear it over a red or printed shirt with pleated trousers for full 1970s energy, or style it more quietly with a white tee, black knit, faded denim, or cream trousers. It also works well with loafers, boots, high-top sneakers, or a simple tank underneath. The brown velvet pairs especially well with ivory, rust, red, denim blue, olive, camel, black, and gray.
Shown with
Styled with sunglasses, a red shirt, gray trousers, sneakers, jewelry, and a clutch for shoot styling. Listing is for the jacket only unless otherwise stated.
Curation Note
Selected for its rich brown cotton velvet, classic McGregor sportswear label, 1970s safari-jacket shape, and excellent styling potential. It has the kind of vintage menswear personality that can read rock-and-roll, tailored, or softly louche depending on how it is worn.
Authenticity Note
Interior label reads McGregor, 100% cotton, Made in Korea, Dry Clean Only, and marked size 42. Era is estimated based on label design, fabrication, country of origin, pocket styling, button-front construction, and overall 1970s sportswear silhouette.
