Vintage early 1950’s Hercules Outerwear by Sears zip-front jacket in a heavily faded dusty pink colorway with contrasting gray and pink striped knit collar, cuffs, and waistband.
Dating to approximately the early 1950’s, this jacket features classic mid-century Sears Hercules construction with a metal Serval zipper, two angled front hand pockets, and a short ribbed-waist silhouette. Sears catalog archives document Hercules men’s jackets during this period, including a dedicated Hercules jacket page in the 1953 catalog, while surviving period examples confirm Hercules gabardine jackets and Serval zipper construction from the 1950’s. (Sears Archives)
Particularly unusual faded pink colorway. Other surviving 1950’s Hercules jackets have been documented in pink-and-black gabardine, making this a scarce variation of Sears’ mid-century Hercules outerwear. (The Fedora Lounge)
Features an old dark indigo denim elbow patch repair that adds to the jacket’s heavily worn workwear character.
