Rare vintage 60’s Champion Rochester PILOT model wool coat in deep forest green. This model appears in Champion’s mid-century catalogs as the “Wool Button Jacket (PILOT), HC,” known for its unique double-zip hood that can be worn up as a traditional hood or unzipped and folded down into a wide sailor-style collar — exactly like this piece.
Made from thick melton wool with a snap-button front, set-in sleeves, knit rib cuffs, and angled welt hand pockets. Built for cold weather with that unmistakable mid-century Champion Rochester construction quality. Features the correct 60’s “Styled by Champion Products Inc. Rochester, N.Y.” tag and a metal Talon hood zipper, both era-correct details.
Light age-related wear but no major flaws noted. Fits like a roomy large based on measurements.
Pit to Pit: 21"
Length: 28"
