Original 1940s Men's Navy Blue Double Breasted Jacket

Code: 52384

An original British made navy blue double breast 6x4 Jacket dating from the 1940s.

This style of jacket was extremely popular in the 1930s and 1940s. It could well have originally been part of a suit but would also likely have been worn with grey flannel trousers or slacks - a very popular casual look during this period. The jacket is cut in a typically 1930s style being short in the body and featuring no rear vent. The large, peaked lapels are also typical of the era as is the rayon lining. The materials are heavy, designed for warmth and make the jacket 'hang' very nicely - much better than modern lightweight fabrics!

The jacket will suit around a 35" chest depending on desired fit and when laid flat measures -

Chest - 19 1/2"
Inside arm - 18"
Outside arm - 25"
Length - 27 1/2"
Shoulders - 16 1/2"

The jacket is in good condition for its age and it is still very wearable. Overall the jacket is in excellent condition but does have two very small repairs to the rear as detailed in the pictures. Please study the pictures and bear in mind that this is a pre-worn vintage item of around 80 years old which has some flaws and is far from perfect condition. 

A nice original pre-war jacket which would look great paired with grey flannels as a sports jacket!
