A vintage circa 1950s/1960s 'Clydesider' workwear jacket, tailored in Scotland for the Mersey Equipment Company (I think - the label has degraded). Styled rather like a deluxe donkey jacket & made from black heavyweight wool Melton cloth, it has a boxy cut with no side seams, pointed collar, button fastening, two patch pockets with flaps, & is lined in the body with fleecy tartan flannel with an inside pocket.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
NB Accessories not included.
Size: Suggested L / XL, to fit about a 44" chest, depending on layers worn beneath.
Photographed on a 38" mannequin.
All measurements are external, taken with the garment laid flat, to be doubled where appropriate for circumference (with approx. metric equivalent):
