Oakbrook Sportswear Sherpa-Lined Hooded Bomber - L

Oakbrook Sportswear was the Sears house label that quietly put out workwear-grade outerwear for decades. This one is a sherpa-lined bomber in dark olive-bronze nylon with a zip-out hood — built for someone who needed to be warm more than they needed to look cool, and ended up doing both. The sherpa lining is dense and intact, the metal zipper still runs clean, and the label inside reads "Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A." because that's whose store you bought it from.
