As nice as the photo is with you in it or whom ever, come on, more photos of the jacket, back front, lining, buttons.

Initially it looks late 30s to me, looks lovely.

Another photo of the label, flatter if possible.

I hate admitting defeat but my searching has drawn a complete blank I'm afraid. Sorry :-(

Can you tell us what the label says exactly. It’s a bit hard to read

Oh wow, looks stunning on you! Initial impression is 30s-40s but more info needed as suggested. So many experts here they will be sure so narrow it down.

The label reads Bette of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is printed.. the entire jacket is hand stitched,with very small pockets.

I can see something else written under Bette, as well ending in Ltd. and the actual address 6, Ridley Place.
It looks 1940s to me, swing era.

I’m actually a little in love with this jacket keep coming back to look at it. Is it wool crepe?

I think it just says (of Newcastle) Ltd - or something like that.

I saw this to but is it " Of Newcastle Ltd" or "Newcastle Ltd".

I looked up both, a fair number of past Newcastle Ltd but I could find nothing associated with Bette.

I had a look too! That hairdresser has been there since 1979. I did find an old photo (50s/60s) where it looks like 'Doreen dresses' may have been at number 6, but difficult to tell.

Sometime between Engine Telegraphs and Art Supplies, our Bette was there, doing fabulous tailoring.

Wonder what engine telegraphs are exactly?
