Incredible 1940s-50s expertly tailored gray wool jacket made of a rare LeSur fabric. Designed and made in France, this stunning jacket is fitted and weighted with double-breasted fabric-covered buttons, 3/4-length sleeves, perfectly mitered seams, and unusual collar and cuff detail. Despite the hardships of WWII, the 1940s were a brilliant decade for fashion. While Hollywood's Golden Age stars dazzled in gorgeous gowns, women across the West embraced a more utilitarian yet chic look. With the onset of Christian Dior's 'New Look' in 1947, fashion was characterized by gorgeous full skirts and waist-cinching jackets.
A truly rare and original find from the 1940s-50s, this wearable jacket is a fine addition to your vintage clothing collection. Made in Paris with fabric by LeSur. Fully Lined.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with two tiny moth holes on back left sleeve (see photo). Professionally dry cleaned and ready to wear. No stains. Lining and fabric is clean and strong.
