A vintage 1950s Harris Tweed sports jacket from the well-known outfitter 'John Collier', made from 100% pure wool in a houndstooth or Shepherd check weave in shades of brown, olive, & sage green, which is best shown on the close up of the labels. Single breasted 3-button fastening with notch lapels - centre vent - medium padded shoulders - fitted waist - welted breast & lower flapped pockets - square leather 'football' buttons - body fully lined with face weave taupe acetate with 1 chest pocket, 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.
