Vintage 1970\'s Boy Scouts of America BSA Red Wool/Nylon Jacket Size 18 Jac-Shirt: $49.00
Vintage Boy Scouts of America Red Wool/Nylon Jacket Size 18.This is from when I was a scout (1970\'s). I recall getting it to put my patches on but that never happened. I don\'t recall wearing it, it\'s been stored away all these years. The \"552\" on a Boy Scouts of America (BSA) wool jacket tag is the official BSA catalog model number for the classic red wool \"Jac-Shirt\" (shirt-jacket). Key Details About Model 552:• The Item: It is the iconic heavy-duty red wool (85% wool / 15% nylon blend) button-up shirt-jacket worn as an official or casual scouting layer starting in the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s).• Size 18 represents the youth sizing used by the BSA at the time (for example, a size 16 or 20 typically fits a modern adult extra-small to small). My dad wears a medium; I made him try it on, it fit him except he is a bit stocky so it would not button. But the sleeves and length were great.• Features: It features a pointed collar, dual button-flap chest pockets, and glossy red plastic two-hole buttons. Measurements- Sleeve (from shoulder seam to edge of wrist - 23.5\"- From top of tag (below collar) to bottom edge - 27.5\"- When buttoned, side to side - 20\"Measurements are with item laying flat and are approximate. Please check against items you already own to verify fit. Maybe 3 or 4 small spots that may or may not be imperfections or just have degraded over time, I took photos for the ones I found when I looked over it all.
