1940s Pocket Detail Crop Jacket - Red Wool

This stunning 'super limited edition' jacket was inspired by an original worn by actress Marsha Hunt and has some gorgeous vintage 1940s details. A versatile jacket yet so very forties, tailoring at its best...

We found a bolt of this softly checked wool in a local supplier's warehouse and snapped it up to offer you a super limited edition. It doesnt make much commercial sense - but we couldnt resist it...! Made to order in a few weeks - still returnable if it doesnt suit :-)

The 'crop' or bolero jacket captures the boxy styles of the early '40s perfectly. Strong shoulders, an elegant shawl collar and diagonal patch details perfectly capture this iconic look. See how the patch details on the jacket are mirrored! The early 40s boxy shape places a lot of emphasis in the upper body and we put a lot of effort into creating the perfect shoulder shape. This resulted in a significant shoulder pad and roll with three tucks into the sleeve head. The shawl collar softens the shape slightly - by just adding that extra detail. The non-functional diagonal flaps below the shoulder emulate a pocket and are hand finished. Fully lined

Key features:-
- long sleeves with darts in sleeve head
- shawl collar
- diagonal flap details 
- padded shoulders
- fully lined

Fabric: Outer: 100% wool - Lining: 100% acetate

We recommend dry clean on this garment

Made with love in Yorkshire, England.
