Alfred Dunner Black and White Textured Stripe Button-Down Jacket
Alfred Dunner · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Tops & Jackets
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s (Y2K era), evidenced by the woven textured fabric, rectangular brand tag, and boxy silhouette typical of department store career-wear from this period.
Material
Likely a Polyester/Cotton blend. The fabric features a 'slub' or 'nubby' texture with horizontal woven stripes and small eyelash-style fringe details, common in mid-tier synthetic blends designed for durability and wrinkle resistance.
Condition
Very Good. The item appears structurally sound with no visible staining or significant fraying. However, the textured nature of the weave is prone to minor snags which should be checked carefully near the cuffs and hem.
Demand Level
Moderate. While Alfred Dunner is a staple brand, the current 'Grandpa Core' and 'Coastal Grandmother' trends have increased demand for vintage textured button-downs among younger demographics.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $22.00 (Low-Mid-High)
Estimated Retail Value
$48.00 - $62.00
Comparable Sales
Similar Alfred Dunner textured jackets typically sell for $15-$18 on eBay and Poshmark. NWT (New With Tags) vintage pieces can reach $25-$30, while standard used condition pieces often sell as part of a bundle or for approximately $12 plus shipping.
Description
Vintage-inspired Alfred Dunner button-front jacket top in a striking monochrome black, grey, and white horizontal stripe. This lightweight layering piece features a classic pointed collar, long sleeves with button cuffs, and a straight, boxy hemline. The fabric boasts a unique multidimensional texture with raised woven patterns and delicate fringe accents throughout the stripes. Perfect for a sophisticated office look or styled as a Y2K 'Coastal Grandmother' or 'Grandpa Core' aesthetic piece.
Key Features
Multidimensional textured weave, monochrome color palette (always in demand), boxy Y2K silhouette, versatile 'shacket' functionality, machine-washable fabric.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Alfred Dunner' woven neck label and matching side-seam care tags are standard for authentic department store production of this era. Not a brand commonly counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor snags in the textured weave; potential for slight yellowing in the white stripes due to age (though not visible in photo); verify all four front buttons are original and secure.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for mature audiences looking for specific brands), Poshmark (strong for visual, trendy styling), and Mercari (good for quick, low-cost shipping sales).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Texture,' 'Tweed-like,' 'Coastal Grandmother,' 'Y2K,' and 'Monochrome.' Take close-up photos of the fabric texture to highlight the quality. Measure 'Pit to Pit' and 'Length' as Alfred Dunner sizing can run large/boxy. Style it open over a black turtleneck for better visual appeal in the main photo.
