Description

A vintage U.S. Navy dress blue uniform jacket with a sharply tailored double-breasted silhouette, gold-tone naval buttons, notched lapels, and sleeve insignia with red chevrons and cuff stripe. The deep navy body reads nearly black in lower light, giving it the crisp formality of military tailoring while still feeling wearable as a statement blazer.

The shape is structured and close-fitting, with a strong shoulder line, nipped body, welt chest pocket, lower front pockets, and black interior lining. The left sleeve carries a military insignia patch and red cuff detail, giving the jacket the graphic visual punch that makes vintage uniforms so strong as styling pieces.

No marked size is visible in the provided photos. Estimated modern men’s S/M / approx 38R. Approximate international size conversion: US 38R / UK 38R / EU 48R / JP M-L equivalent. Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, has a 40” chest, wears a 40L slim-fit suit, and typically wears a men’s Medium shirt. On Dean, the jacket fits very slim through the shoulders, chest, and back, with sleeves that are short on his 36” sleeve length. Best for a smaller frame, a modern men’s small/medium, or an approx 38R wearer who wants a fitted military silhouette.

Styled with a knit polo and trousers. Listing is for the jacket only.

Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, has a 40” chest, wears a 40L slim-fit suit, and typically wears a men’s Medium shirt. On Dean, the jacket fits very slim through the shoulders, chest, and back. The sleeves are also short on his 36” sleeve length. Best for a smaller frame, a modern men’s small/medium, or an approx 38R wearer who wants a fitted military jacket fit.

Condition

Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Exterior presents well overall, with light surface wear, minor wrinkling, and natural age-related texture. Interior lining shows visible wear, including fraying/seam stress near the interior armhole/lining area and wear around some interior construction points. Buttonholes show some age/wear. Please review photos closely.

Styling Notes

Wear as a statement blazer over a fine knit polo, striped tee, white button-down, cropped trousers, denim, or wide wool pants. The military shape works especially well with soft pieces underneath so the jacket feels intentional rather than costume.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

Styled with a knit polo and trousers for the shoot. Listing is for the jacket only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its sharp military tailoring, double-breasted naval front, sleeve insignia, and strong fitted silhouette. A high-impact uniform piece for customers who like vintage military, mod styling, and structured menswear.

Size Chart

Vintage sizing varies greatly by brand, country, garment type, and time period. The marked vintage size may not reflect today’s sizing standards. Whenever possible, we provide both the original marked size and our estimated modern US size equivalent. This estimate is based on the item’s era, construction, fabric behavior, relevant size references, and how the piece fits on the model shown. We do not clip, pin, or artificially alter garments when photographing them. The model’s size, measurements, and visible fit are the best guides for understanding modern fit. Please review all photos, fit notes, and product details before purchasing.

Found an absolute gem of a Hawaiian shirt for my rehearsal dinner. Just head upstairs, go back in time, and enjoy yourself. Love this place and Melynda!!

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

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!!!

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

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.

Quirk is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.
