Dramatic, beautifully made 1940's suit jacket. Beaded faux pocket flaps and collar,
gorgeous high quality vintage buttons, hand stitched substantial rayon crepe lining in a slightly brighter accent color, bound buttonholes sewn by hand, padded shoulders, waist shaping via tucks above faux pocket flaps. The collar can be worn open or buttoned closed via small button and thread loop closure at top of neckline ( see picture #8).
There are actually no pockets. The faux pocket flaps are decorative. Hourglass shape is achieved through fine tailoring. Tucks above faux pocket flaps draw the waistline in and darts under the flaps release the fabric over the hips. The shoulders are padded. Shoulder pads create the squared shoulder line essential to this look and are not removable. Darts at the elbows shape sleeves. Tailoring is amazing!

Age and condition: Fabric is very strong and in very good shape. Jacket is over 80 years old!
Lining material is a heavy rayon crepe beautifully applied. The only flaw is the tiny hole on back underside of left sleeve. I showed it to a tailor to find out if any repair was possible. First of all, both tailor and I had trouble even finding the small hole! When we did he inspected it and advised leaving it as is because any repair would show more than this tiny blemish.

PATINA; It is not the kind of hole that will get bigger if left alone. Thus it should be regarded as patina from age/
Please note it is enlarged in photo so you can see it well. It is much smaller in impression in real life. Also, when worn it is located under the wrist and would seldom if ever be noticed by anyone observing wearer.

The design and lines of this jacket remind me of the jackets worn by Hollywood movie stars of the 1940's. Lauren Bacall, Hedy Lamar, Katherine Hepburn, Vivian Leigh, Greta Garbo, Gene Tierney, and Rita Hayworth come to mind! The style is exactly like the clothes these actresses wore in their iconic films. The failoring is the kind that can make straight up and down girls look like perfect curvy goddesses!
