1959 wool blazer | Hong Kong tailored, striped menswear
This is a beautifully preserved example of mid‑century bespoke menswear; this blazer was custom‑tailored in Hong Kong and completed on 22 October 1959, as confirmed by the original order label still sewn inside. Crafted by WINNER High Class Tailor, a respected North Point atelier known for precise workmanship, the jacket reflects the refined construction that made Hong Kong tailoring internationally sought‑after during the 1950s.
The wool fabric features a bold vertical stripe in darn maroon and black on a gray background — a striking yet sophisticated palette typical of late 1950s menswear. The silhouette is clean and structured, with a notch lapel classic shoulders, and a tailored mid century cut that fits perfectly on the body.
A standout detail is the pair of mock turn-back cuffs, finished with the original metal buttons. This cuff style was a hallmark of higher end bespoke tailoring in Hong Kong during the era, adding visual weight and a subtle flourish to the sleeve. The metal buttons show light, age appropriate patina, which has been factored into the price and contributes to the garment’s authentic vintage character.
Fully lined and finished with three front metal buttons, a chest pocket, and two lower pockets, this blazer is both collectible and wearable — ideal for vintage enthusiasts, stylists, or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship of mid‑century custom tailoring.
