Why a vintage satin jacket is a must-have

Satin jackets have something magical. As soon as you put one on, you feel it immediately: the shine, the weight, the appearance.
At Laura Stappers Vintage we are completely in love with vintage satin jackets – and not without reason. In this blog, you will read why these jackets are an absolute must-have for your wardrobe.

The unique appearance of satin

Vintage satin has depth. It is not the shiny, thin material sometimes found in modern fast fashion, but a rich, sturdy satin fabric that remains beautiful even after decades of wear.
Each jacket catches the light in a different way, making your outfit always a little eye-catcher, without you having to put in much effort.

Satin jackets give an outfit:

• Direct more pit and personality

• A sporty and stylish touch

• A retro vibe that never gets boring

Whether you like tough, casual, or a bit glamorous: a satin jacket adapts to your style.

Vintage satin jackets are made to last

The jackets we select at LSV are often made in the '80s and '90s – a time when quality really came first.
Thick, sturdy satin, with beautiful ribbed cuffs and often large, colorful embroidered logos of teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, or Raiders.

Where modern satin jackets can quickly wear out or fray, these vintage examples often only become more beautiful.

Unisex and endlessly combinable

What we ourselves really like about satin jackets? They are completely unisex.

• Women wear them cool over a mini skirt or mom jeans.

• Gentlemen easily combine them with joggers or a good pair of jeans.

A vintage satin jacket immediately breaks the "too neat" look of an outfit and gives everything a relaxed edge.

From sports fields to street style icons

Satin jackets originally started as sports jackets, intended for baseball players who wanted something warm to wear over their shirts.
But from the 1980s onwards, hip-hop artists, skaters, and even Hollywood stars also adopted these jackets.

Today you still see vintage satin jackets everywhere – from cool Instagram street style to high-end fashion shows.

In summary

A vintage satin jacket is not just any piece of clothing.
It is a piece of history, a style statement, and an investment that you will enjoy for years.
At Laura Stappers Vintage, you will find only the most beautiful, original satin jackets — unisex, iconic, and always unique.
