ITALIAN HV WORK JACKET USED

Originally issued to Italian public-works and municipal service crews, this genuine surplus Italian Hi-Vis Work Jacket is exactly the kind of authentic European workwear that flies off the rack for shopkeepers who cater to tradesmen, roadside crews, preppers, and vintage workwear collectors. Bright fluorescent orange body panels combined with dual reflective torso and sleeve bands deliver the kind of high-visibility profile road workers, tow operators, and utility crews rely on — while the contrasting grey shoulder yoke and cuffs give it a distinctive continental work-jacket silhouette you simply can't find in domestic hi-vis lines.

This is authentic issued gear pulled from Italian service inventories — not a reproduction. Each jacket carries the original AWB back patch and a personalized name tape on the chest (names will vary), giving every piece its own bit of provenance. Because these were actually worn on the job, expect honest, field-earned character: light fading, minor scuffs, and period-correct hardware patina are part of the story. That real-world authenticity is exactly what drives resale value with collectors and workwear enthusiasts.

Built for the Job

• Sturdy woven work-weight fabric shell in fluorescent safety orange with contrasting grey yoke and cuffs
• Dual horizontal reflective bands across chest and waist, plus wrap-around bands on both sleeves for 360° visibility
• Snap-front placket keeps the closure quick to operate with gloved hands
• Two snap-flap chest pockets for notebooks, radios, gloves, or tools
• Pointed collar and adjustable snap cuffs for a clean, buttoned-up work fit
• Original AWB back patch and Italian name tape on the chest — real issued provenance

Who It Sells To

This jacket is a natural fit for buyers serving tradespeople, landscapers, mechanics, farmers, and anyone who needs to be seen while they work. Beyond the jobsite, it's a strong seller for European military and civil-service surplus collectors, urban workwear fashion customers hunting for authentic Euro pieces, and preppers building visible outer layers into their kits. Layer it over a hoodie in cool weather or wear it as a shirt-jacket in mild temperatures — the mid-weight fabric drapes well and works across three seasons.

Condition Note

Used, genuine surplus condition. Each jacket has seen real service, so expect variation from piece to piece — this is part of what makes authentic surplus desirable. Recommend a wash before wear.
