Description
Known for their quality wool garments, often in lovely plaids, the iconic Pendleton Woolen Mills has been in business since 1909, and sold their first women's clothing in 1949. This 1950s blue, grey and black plaid wool skirt suit by Pendleton has a longer-length jacket that could also double as outerwear. It could easily be worn on its own as a lightweight coat or jacket, as well paired as with the matching pencil skirt, as shown. The coat has a large, rounded collar and closes with four grey plastic buttons. It falls just below the hip on our mannequin and will be a bit longer on a more petite frame. There are diagonal slit pockets at waist level. The cut of the jacket is boxy and somewhat roomy, flaring a bit at the back, although not as full as a swing- or A-line-style jacket would be. It has straight full-length sleeves and is lined with copper satin. The pencil skirt has a fitted waistband with belt loops. It is shaped by darts from the waist to the hips and falls straight from the hips to the hem, with a back kick pleat. The skirt is lined with taffeta in back only and closes with a side metal zipper. This suit will look great with a fitted blouse or sweater underneath, as shown (sweater shown not included). The suit is in excellent condition, a true vintage classic that will last for many more years.
