This incredible handmade surf jacket is a rare piece of 1970s craftsmanship and coastal culture. Constructed from thick, hand-knit wool in rich chocolate brown and soft cream, it features a striking wave-inspired geometric motif that wraps around the body and cuffs — a subtle nod to the ocean that defined the era’s surf lifestyle. Designed with a generous shawl collar, deep patch pockets, and a self-tie belt, it embodies both warmth and relaxed sophistication. The texture and patterning clearly show the human touch of a skilled artisan, not a factory line, making it a true one-of-one creation. Believed to have been worn by a professional surfer who traveled internationally during the 1970s, this piece carries the spirit of the nomadic surf generation — well-worn evenings by beach fires, salt air, and long road trips chasing waves around the world. Its weight and structure feel substantial yet comfortable, perfect for layering after a session or styling as a statement piece. Whether you’re a collector of vintage surf culture, mid-century knitwear, or artisan garments, this jacket is a beautifully preserved relic from a golden age of freedom, travel, and handmade design.
