A genuine vintage industrial workwear jacket by Pionier, featuring original company-issued detailing and authentic signs of use. Produced for German construction industry use, this piece carries an embroidered J. PRADELLA name tape alongside an original ETKE Bauunternehmen sleeve patch, giving it the kind of real-world provenance that collectors and workwear enthusiasts actively seek out.
Constructed from durable cotton herringbone twill, the jacket features a classic chore coat silhouette with a traditional four-pocket layout, button front closure, and hard-wearing construction designed for daily use on site. The rich blue colourway echoes the iconic European workwear jackets worn by tradesmen, engineers, mechanics, and construction workers throughout the twentieth century.
Unlike modern reproductions, this jacket was built for genuine industrial use, and the original company markings tell part of its story. These personalised details make each piece unique and give the garment a character that cannot be replicated.
Perfect styled with denim, fatigues, carpenter trousers, or cargos for an authentic workwear-inspired look. An excellent piece for collectors of vintage workwear, industrial clothing, and garments with genuine occupational history.
