From the 1950s, a perfect little jacket for cooler days. It's got all the mid-century details we love, but still looks totally modern. A versatile addition to any wardrobe.
- Jet black fabric is a plush, but not too heavy, wool or synthetic (really can't tell, and no way to test it), with a "mohair-like" loft
- Seaming throughout for shaping (see composite photo)
- Shallow front pockets
- No-closure styling
- Fully lined in silky black fabric
- Union made in the USA
Some photos lightened to show detail. The jacket is black.
Labels: only a 1955-1963 ILGWU union labels remains
