1940's Navy Blue Jacket with Fantastic Collar & Pockets

1940's Navy Blue Jacket with Fantastic Collar & Pockets

A jacket I bought with a wool and silk blend, but it never felt right, so I ended up not wearing it. I think that the shoulders were too big. I took off the buttons to keep and let the jacket go for $15 :eusa_doh:. I think it was New Old Stock.

Actual color of jacket:

I just bought my first suit! I don't know if I'm getting buyer's remorse though as I can't really afford it...I am sending a cheque so I haven't actually paid yet. Reassure me ladies!

It looks a bit shapeless on the dummy, but it's fabulously curvy and the perfect size. Plus excellent condition! I don't know if the beige is a bit drab though.:eusa_doh:

Miss De Guerre - I've collected Ladies Suits for over 20 years and can assure you this is an EXCELLENT SUIT!

You have great taste and if you don't send that check, I am going to run over to that seller and pretend I'm you so I can get it! lol

Great find!

It's fabulous! I love the detailing. If you feel it's too "beige", just wear a bunch of colourful accessories. It already has bling!

Fleur, it's a fabulous suit! Subtle, yet sexy - love it and can't wait to see a piccie of it on you! Send the cheque!

Oh Fleur... it's GORGEOUS! Wear it with red heels and a red blouse and there's nothing drab about the beige!

Vintage Betty:
Sorry to hear that the maker of your repro suits went out of bussiness.

Fleur De Guerre:
The suit is fabulous!

I like that suit, its gorgeous - you lucky thing!

I've just had a little 50's suit arrive, its got pretty little bakelite buttons. I hope it fits! I'm too hungover and depressed to try it on today though.

that is NOT the spirit, young lady!
i'd have to be stapled to the floor to stop me trying on a new purchase!

 

[Smuterella]

I am all out of sorts today

 

[MissHannah]

Awww... smutsy baby! Come on... make yourself a cup of tea, watch an old movie and eat biscuits. That solves everything

 

[Deleted member 3716]

...or you could always start drinking again

 

[Smuterella]

and you two can stop being so darn chirpy

free champagne is evil, evil I tell you

*looks at suit and wilts just thinking of the effort involved in trying it on*

 

[Smuterella]

OK, it fits perfectly, I didn't take pics of it on as I feel rotten and look worse but here are pics of it on the hanger:

Thank you for the encouragement!

Any special requests?

Here's mine:

I'd like to see some of MissHannah's wardrobe posted here, and I know there are at least a few ladies with at least one vintage or reproduction suit who haven't posted yet.

Post away ladies!
