Vintage Nigel Cabourn Taped Seams Ventile "Aircraft Jacket". Survival Yellow Rain Smock.
Being in this line of work, one ends up with a tremendous amount of clothing to wear, as things often get secretly moved from the “sell pile” to the “keep pile”.
Sometimes we get to a point where the closet MUST get consolidated, which results in us sometimes selling more modern/ “vintage inspired” pieces such as this gorgeous Nigel Cabourn Ventile rain jacket from the SS12 collection (thus making it practically impossible to track down). These were over $1000 USD when they first came out.
This is one of my favorite patterns by the British designer. Buttery smooth/ broken in “Survival Yellow” windproof Ventile cotton with taped seams and the same extremely high quality/ innumerable design details that their garments are known for, all while staying true to the vintage British/ RAF/ Royal Navy patterns that the piece references.
Approx size Medium

Jacket has many signs of wear, mainly the taped seams have come unglued. Will need to be repaired. Some light staining.
