This stunning jacket was made in the 1940's.
Made from medium weight wool in checks worked in black, grey and cobalt blue it is fully lined. Fabulously tailored it has a wide collar, turn back sleeve ends, covered buttons and is trimmed with a band of beading on the yokes and sleeves worked in pearlised grey glass seed and bugle beads.
One of the most beautiful jackets we've ever had the pleasure of selling.

Condition
Good with the following points to note;
- there are a small number of fine breaks in the weave measuring about 2mm - darning them will likely make them more visible
- someone has darned a few places in the back in a wool which is a little bright
- there are some small darns, mostly felt in the weave rather than seen, but there are a few more visible darns on the front of the right sleeve
Even with the above issues it is an absolutely stunning piece.
