A vintage 1950s Harris Tweed sports jacket retailed by the 'Harrods Younger Man's Shop', made from 100% pure wool in a houndstooth or Shepherd check weave in shades of brown, sea green & beige/natural. Single breasted 3-button fastening with fairly wide lapels - centre vent - medium padded shoulders - fitted or suppressed waist - welted breast & lower flapped pockets - leather 'football' buttons - body fully lined with pinkish beige acetate with 2 chest pockets, sleeves lined with ivory acetate. The Harris label bears the 'Applied in accordance' text which I believe came into use in about 1954.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
