50s Women's Jacket Vintage by Marguerite Walter Blue Tweed Suit Cashmere? Medium to Large VFG

$ 68.00 Sale Save

This 1950s vintage jacket is one of the best I've had the pleasure of offering, with comparable quality to Handmacher or Lilli Ann! The jacket is gently fitted with vertical darting above and below the bust. The back of the jacket is weighted so it hangs properly. Quiet but effective design details include the bias-cut self fabric trim along the large collar and plackets, and the diagonally positioned buttonholes placed in pairs.

SIZE: No size label. I wear a modern size 12 and the coat is a good fit with the exception of my long arms.

FABRIC/COLORS: Medium weight wool, so silky soft that I think it's most likely cashmere. The weave is a tiny houndtooth-type broken check, using marine blue, cream, and light and dark gray. The lining is a pinkish shade of gray crepe, feels like silk.

TAGS: Custom Tailored, Marguerite Walter, Seattle

CLOSURES: Four pairs of self fabric covered buttons, so eight in all, with angled bound buttonholes

CONDITION: A few small and quite subtle tannish discolorations on the right cuff - see closeup. You can also see in that photo that a bit of the nap is worn at the very edge of the cuff notch.
