80s GERMAN - MERK WORK JACKET - M

German workwear from the 1980s with natural sun-fade and timeworn texture.

Faded blue chore jacket from MERK, made from soft herringbone twill cotton with a concealed front placket and classic triple-pocket layout. The chest pocket is secured with a single button, while subtle hand-stitched repair just above it gives the piece visible character. Sun-fade across the collar, shoulders, and hem enhances its lived-in charm.

Originally issued as industrial workwear in Germany during the 1980s–90s, this jacket features a Sanfor label and loop collar, typical for the era. The herringbone weave provides texture and durability, while the fit remains relaxed and versatile — equally suited for layering or standalone wear.

A true staple with visible soul.
