Description
A great 40’s jacket in a great 40’s color, this wool gabardine lady’s suit jacket from the late 1940’s is a cool shade of pine green. The darts at the sides of the waist, shaped panels on the back and the ubiquitous 40’s shoulder pads create a film noir femme fatale, feminine silhouette. The sleeves have small, turned-back cuffs, and the jacket can be worn with or without the top button fastened. The covered buttons have nice topstitching, and the 4 pocket flaps (2 decorative, 2 functional) also add interest to the front of the jacket. Great worn with wide-leg, 40’s style pants or a classic pencil skirt, this nicely tailored jacket is in very good to excellent condition. The only issue is with the rust crepe lining, which has some fading (visible on the inside only) under the arms.
