Vintage 70s/80s Starter 'Solid Red Coach Jacket' Jacket (Small) (B0162)

This vintage coach jacket comes from Starter, the legendary American sportswear brand founded in 1971 in New Haven, Connecticut. Starter became iconic throughout the 70s, 80s, and especially the 90s for its team jackets, satin bombers, and warmup gear worn by professional athletes, musicians, and streetwear communities. This particular jacket features an early “be a… Starter” tag, dating it to the late 1970s–early 1980s — a period before the brand exploded into mainstream popularity. The design reflects classic pre-90s Starter construction: a crisp nylon shell in vibrant deep red, raglan sleeves for easy movement, elasticated cuffs, and a soft cream flannel lining for warmth. The silhouette is simple and functional, likely intended for athletic teams, community leagues, or promotional wear before Starter’s major licensing deals began. Its minimal, unbranded exterior makes it a versatile piece within vintage outerwear, while still carrying the appeal of one of America’s most recognisable sportswear labels.
