40s Vintage Women's Jacket Deco Details Navy Blue Pinstripe Large to Extra Large VFG Ber Sell Original
Deceptively simple with clean deco lines, enhanced by the subtle pinstripe! Gently fitted with princess style seaming that goes geometric above the bust, including a stylized wing that gives the illusion of a squared off padded shoulder without any pads. Collarless around the neck with dropped notched lapels. Horizontal welted handwarmer pockets.
SIZE: No size label. I wear a modern size 12 and the jacket feels a little oversized to me.

FABRIC/COLORS: Lightweight wool suiting, dark navy blue with a very narrow white pinstripe. Lined in black satin.
TAG: Ber-Sell Original Modes - The logo monogram is B & W though. An additional tag has a seal for "This article Berlou moth proofed, 5 year guarantee". I found some archived sources mentioning the Berlou method dating back to the mid 1930s.
CLOSURES: Two self fabric ringed buttons with bound buttonholes.
CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted on the outer jacket. There is some reddish color turn to the lining under the arms (no odor). I have repaired a section of lining hem that had come loose.
