Sage Green Plasticized Fabric Bomber with Wool Sleeves

1980s · 1980s · British

This experimental outerwear piece combines a voluminous sage green plasticized fabric body with dark brown ribbed wool knit sleeves and collar. The jacket features an exaggerated bomber silhouette with gathered elastic at the waist and cuffs. The synthetic outer shell has a distinctive crinkled, almost parachute-like texture that creates sculptural volume when worn. Orange fabric lines the interior, visible at the front opening. The contrast between the industrial plastic material and traditional knit construction exemplifies 1980s New Romantic experimentation with unconventional materials and proportions. The ribbed knit elements provide structure and fit while the plastic shell creates dramatic, architectural form.
