1920s 30s Wool & velvet jacket - Medium
Tax included.
What a fabulous piece, absolutely immediately wearable, with some condition notes which aren’t noticeable when worn. I’m estimating the date of this jacket at late 1920s / early 1930s. In black wool crepe, it is unfitted, with low asymmetric fastening of corded button and bound buttonhole allowing the front to fall open into lapels. You could also add a popstud to the neck to fasten it there, but I see no evidence of there being one. Sleeves are stupendously wide, in black cotton velvet, and gathered to a flat cuff to billow dramatically. The piece comes with a matching black velvet sash/scarf which can be used to accessorise as desired!
14.5” between shoulder seams
Chest of garment 40”
Hip 43”
Mid shoulder to hem 24”
Sleeve length from shoulder 27” (this length allows it to balloon when worn)
At present the wrist circumference is 7” but popstuds there could be moved to gain .5”
Presents very well, the back neck has some slight wear to the weave however is stable, no holes, and there is very slight use in the fabric elsewhere but again, not a serious structural issue at all. Minor wear to the lining in small spots (sleeves are unlined but this is original). Couple of small worn spots to surface of the velvet pile at one cuff as pictured, and the odd slight discrepancy to the velvet, biggest/worst pictured which is a dribble of sorts and much less noticeable when worn!. Sash has a tiny tear to middle edge which again isn't noticeable in use.
