This 1950s vintage jacket is a fabulous find in a rare larger size! I love the two tone detailing, and the straight cut fit that is a little bit rockabilly and a little bit collegiate. Shoulders are un-padded, lapels are a bit oversized. There are three patch pockets, no inner pockets. The jacket is fully lined.

FABRIC/COLORS: The primary color is a dark camel color - on my monitor, it is a match for Pantone's "Dried Tobacco". The accents are beige. The fabric is slubbed with a silky feel. A fiber burn test is consistent with silk - it could be a silk/wool blend. The lining is beige, in a sturdy acetate type fabric with a twill weave.
TAGS: Inner chest tag says "Tailored by Fordham". Inner back of neck: Varsity Shop, Baskin Chicago
CLOSURES: The jacket closes with three faux tortoise buttons down the front - look at those fabulous two toned bound buttonholes! Each sleeve has three smaller buttons on the cuff.
CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears, or other issues noted.
