This neat little cropped jacket was made in the 1950's and is labelled 'Bobbie Brooks'.
Made from a wool and nylon mix, it has a fitted waistband, long sleeves, neat little pockets, can have the neck worn open or tight closed and comes in a wonderful colour palette of dark green, red, blue and black. It has been hard to show the true colour but the close up of the button, in the final photo, is the truest representation of the colour.

Condition
Good with some points to note;
- there are a number of small darns - five on the right front, two teeny ones in the back bodice, one on the left revere and one (which is the biggest of them all measuring 6mm) is on the front placket right beside the top buttonhole
- a small amount of bobbling, which is to be expected with wool
