1980s-90s Lands' End Charter Collection Corduroy Blazer, Made in USA - Brown-Green

A two-button corduroy blazer in a brown-green wale, Lands' End Charter Collection, made in the USA. Leather buttons, two flap pockets, one chest pocket. A men's 40R; on a woman, the oversized sport coat.

Inside: UNION MADE, with the ACTWU label. The Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union existed from 1976 to 1995 and then merged away, so this jacket was made inside that window and not outside it. Charter Collection was Lands' End's tailored line in those years. A second code reads DU 6605.

The apostrophe is in the wrong place on purpose, or at least on principle. Gary Comer started Lands' End in Chicago in 1963 as a mail-order supplier of sailing gear, and when the first catalogue came back from the printer with the apostrophe misplaced there was no money to reprint the run, so the mistake became the name. The company moved to Dodgeville, Wisconsin, from 1978, and that is where it was when this jacket was sewn.
