A vintage 1940s jacket, made from heavyweight Harris Tweed wool tweed fabric in the desirable marled ginger colour properly called 'crotal'. It has a Princess seam construction on the front, notch lapels, strongly padded shoulders, nipped-in waist, & 2 angled, flapped lower pockets; the front fastens with 4 horn effect plastic buttons & it is fully lined in coppery pink rayon. Internally in poor condition, priced accordingly.
