Rendered in the softest shade of cream and accented by trailing undulating embroidery in vibrant red and navy, this original 1940's linen jacket is just the piece to add to your seasonal wardrobe.
The V shaped neckline is framed by a pointed collar, which sets off the elegant shoulder line, accented by internally sewn shoulder pads. The full length inset sleeves, are finished with turned up cuffs which join in points along each external side of the sleeves. The elegant fitted cut of the jacket, is accented by tailored darts along either side of the bust-line and tailored seams along each side of the front of the jacket, framing the pearlescent button fastenings. The fitted waistline draws the eye to the simple hemline and triangular central vent, completing this piece in a timeless and iconic silhouette. This jacket is fully lined in cream cotton.
