I snagged this late 1930s-early 1940s jacket a couple of weeks ago at Matilda's Closet. It had just come in the very day I stopped by, and Rose had taken photos to list it on eBay--but of course it "needed" to go home with me instead. The pictures don't really show off the deep burgundy wool crepe; the fur is a rich black as well (not sure if it is seal or sheared beaver—regardless, I have a little 40s tilt hat that will match perfectly!) It was a bit of a frivolous purchase I’m afraid, but I simply couldn’t resist such a glamorous little number!
Wow, I love it-- what a great find! I think sometimes we have to have the item we love.
ReplyDeleteI just got a great 40s suit, and am glad I did, because there was also a fabulous 50s dress I did not buy, and it was gone the next day when I came back for it!

I've had regrets before too--in particular, a pair of studded 40s platforms that were just my size. They were really inexpensive, considering what they were, but I didn't have the funds at the time, sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to post a picture of your new suit, Maria!
Laura--I need to watch that movie again!
Wow, it's amazing! Good you snatched it up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic find, I really like the use of contrasting materials in this lovely jacket. I'm sure you'll look stunning in it!
