Description
This black wool jacket from the late 1950s could be worn either as a lightweight outerwear item, or with a pencil skirt (or pants, or . . .) as a suit jacket. The high-quality, slightly fuzzy black wool is accented with a round, black and white mink collar. Five covered buttons close the jacket. The jacket has an unusual cut, fairly straight in front with curved seams that start from the shoulders, curve over the bust, open up into small, curved pockets at the waist, and then end where they meet the side seams. The sleeves narrow from the shoulder to the cuff, with a seam along the outside of the arms. In back, darts at the shoulders open up to form soft pleats on each side, above the decorative flap at the hem, trimmed with two covered buttons. The jacket is lined in black crepe, with lightly padded shoulders. It is in excellent condition. Worn over a simple dress or with a black pencil skirt, this jacket has that classic "Mad Men"-era chic that can go from the office to a cocktail party with ease!
