Vintage 1960's Fire Department Work Jacket

Editors Notes

Bright red zip-front workwear-style jacket with pointed collar, two oversized flap chest pockets with gold-tone crest buttons, button-tab waist adjusters at the back hem, and buttoned cuffs; dark (black/navy) lining visible at the neck.

Uniform makers like Nuber & Nuber supplied durable work jackets for trades, service jobs, and facilities, where hard-wearing fabrics and practical pockets mattered most. This piece shows classic mid-century utility design cues—zip front, roomy flap pockets, and adjustable waist tabs for a neater fit. The bold red color and crest-style buttons also nod to company-uniform identity and department-issued garments. Today, these uniform jackets are prized for their authentic Americana/workwear look and easy throw-on styling over tees or knitwear. In modern wardrobes they function as a statement layer that adds color while still feeling rooted in functional vintage design.
