VINTAGE 1940s 1950s VELVETY SCARLET OUTER JACKET WITH HUGE CUFFS WITH PLEAT & BUTTONS

A beautiful classic late 1940s early 1950s velvety jacket with huge cuffs with buttons that form a small pleat above.

The jacket has some weight to it.  I would call it a Fall jacket depending on where you are living in the U.S.  Not a winter jacket for New York or Chicago but a jacket for walking in the park when the leaves are falling or doing errands but not for when the snow is falling at least not for me.  

I tried it on and it would be perfect for when I lived in California, Phoenix, Georgia and Texas when you do not need a snow jacket.  It is a heavy jacket but not for when it is freezing and there is snow outside.  Perfect for the weather before then.

There are 2 pockets on the front - buttons down the front - lined - huge cuffs with buttons which form a soft pleat above and below the buttons and above the cuff.  It would look beautiful with some black leather gloves if the weather is a bit nippy!

Gorgeous color in Scarlet!  The perfect jacket to go with jeans, a skirt or or slacks.

By:  No tag
Appx Measurements - The measurements are of the jacket - not your figure.  You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.
Size: I wear a size 10 and it fit me perfectly so it will fit smaller but probably not a lot larger.  But go by the measurements for a good fit.
Bust:  44 with the jacket buttoned
Shoulder to shoulder:  15-1/4
Sleeve from neck to end of sleeve:  28 if you leave the big cuffs up or 31 if you prefer to turn the cuffs down
Length:  31-1/3
Fabric:  No tag but a no pile velvety fabric 
Condition:  Very good with some imperfections.  Some wear under the collar in back  - hard to describe but maybe as though it had brushed up against something and it lightened a bit but not that noticable. Howwever, I looked at it again a bit later and now I do not see it so maybe it is only in certain lighting but no one would notice it anyhow since it is in the back (Photo)  Some small imperfections on the inside which could be fixed easily or just forget it.  A hole in one of the pockets at the bottom and under each arm (photos) there is wear and the lining can be seen.  Both of these these are very easy to fix by you or the dry cleaner or alteration person.  Sew up the hole in the pocket (easy) and put a patch on the underarm inside lining to cover the wear area.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
