Description
As 1970's sport jackets go, this super soft and lightweight black cashmere (or cashmere and wool blend?) version is actually quite timeless, without the giant lapels and fitted shape of the more "flashy" jackets from the period. Classic rather than trendy, details like the small lapels, silver buttons and patch pockets make the jacket a versatile staple that will look good worn with clothing from any era, vintage or modern. Nicely tailored in Hong Kong, this understated jacket has a secret exhibitionist streak: the wildly printed lining. (Even the flaps of the pockets are lined with this fabulous fabric!) This high quality sport jacket is in very good condition, with one tear in each sleeve lining (not on a seam) that needs repair.
