Original 1960s Jersey Flair black knitted collarless tunic jacket in 100% wool
Made in ENGLAND
The length is long falling well below the hip. The shape is a very slight A-Line.
Details include the original squared buttons.
PLEASE NOTE: There have been some small stitch repairs on the left area near the breast and armhole. These are only visible on close inspection against the light.
A bit of history….
This jacket was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (size 40 / 41) which will be listed for sale.

There is no size label. In my opinion the fit is an XL / UK 16
