This fabulous jacket was made in the early 1940's.
Known as a teddy bear jacket it is made from faux fur in a light brown with a beautiful soft sheen. The jacket is wonderfully soft and is fully lined with crepe. It doesn't have shoulder pads and is an edge to edge design, although someone has added four buttons and loops so the jacket can be fastened if you prefer.
A wonderful example of wartime fashion.
Measurements
The jacket is not meant to be close fitting and will best fit up to a 36" bust. However, to ensure that it will fit you properly please compare the measurements below to a similar piece you already own;
Flat bust 20"
Shoulders between sleeves 14.5"
Underarm sleeve length 16.5"
Length 25"
Condition
Very good with the following points to note;
- there are approx. 18 small holes in the lining, not seen when worn
- minor wear to the 'fur' on the front edges
- there are two small areas of fur loss on the left sleeve and two more on the right but, because the fur is thick, they are really only seen when looking for them
