This piece was made in the 1940's and carries the coveted CC41 label on the inner.
Beautifully tailored it is made from medium weight smooth wool in dark brown and has a fine brown pinstripe. Smart detailing it is double breasted, has shoulder pads, to give the iconic shape of the era, three pockets and is fully lined.
Looks great worn open in a more casual style but also looks really smart fastened and worn with high-waisted trousers or a skirt.
