Late 1940s Cotton-Backed Rayon Sateen Warm-Up Jacket
WINDY BEACH
COLOR: PACIFIC DEEP-SEA BLUE
Lot. J16-01
This is a listing for the warm-up jacket Windy Beach.
It features a patch type design.
Stadium jackets were popular in Californian casual wear.
In the 1920s and 30s, wool was the standard material, but as the decades progressed, nylon became the norm. The Windy Beach from Barnstormers focuses on cotton-backed rayon satin made during the transitional period of the late 1940s to 50s.
The lining features a different color of the same fabric, quilted with a thin padding in between, providing wind resistance and warmth.
The stitching is done with nylon thread, as was the practice at the time.
It is clear that nylon thread is more durable than cotton thread, and there were advertisements emphasizing this fact, indicating the significance of using nylon thread for sewing.
The color is Pacific Deep-Sea Blue, inspired by the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean.
It leans more towards green than blue; you might think of it as a bluish-green hue.
The ribbing at the neck, sleeves, and hem is made from thick original wool ribbing.
The ribbing includes a mustard color with blue lines.
There’s a ribbed transition design between the body and the sleeves, which enhances movement and serves as a design accent.
The zipper used is a bell type with the WALDES name.
The front pockets feature an arrowhead motif design.
There is a triangular flap at the hem for zipper protection.
The lining uses the same material in Malibu sand color.
It has acrylic pile padding and is quilted.
Every detail reflects respect for the era and craftsmanship, resulting in this satin varsity jacket.
