Vintage Marlboro Classics Corduroy Utility Jacket
Iconic Fading, Heavyweight Build, Relaxed Fit

This is an exceptional Marlboro Classics corduroy utility jacket, known among collectors for its unmistakable western-inspired aesthetic and rugged, practical construction. Marlboro Classics (later MCS) was established in the 1970s under Red & Gold Tabacco’s lifestyle division, creating clothing that embodied the American West mythos. Their jackets became a staple throughout the 80s and 90s, especially in Europe, where the brand built a reputation for durable workwear with a refined, fashion-forward edge.

This piece represents that golden era of the brand perfectly.

The corduroy has developed an incredible, naturally worn fade across the surface — the kind of patina that can only occur through decades of real wear. The jacket has a quilted lining for warmth, metal hardware, dual chest pockets, and the original leather Marlboro Classics label at the back. Every detail reflects the rugged Americana identity the brand became famous for.

Although made in China, this era of production is well-known among collectors for its durability and heavy, quality corduroy fabric. It is built to last and carries the authentic Marlboro Classics look that modern reproductions often fail to capture.

Fit is a major highlight. At 180 cm and 73 kg, this jacket wears as a perfectly relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette — exactly the aesthetic people seek from vintage utility outerwear today.

Condition shows light wear, patina, and softening of the corduroy, all contributing to the character and appeal of the jacket. Structurally sound and fully wearable.

A rugged, beautifully faded jacket with a timeless silhouette and real heritage behind it.
