Another piece from my vintage wardrobe, that has to go - after more than 10 years 
. I bought this in the UK, and I remember the shop having a lot of 60s stuff, and this jacket was sold to me as 60s too. I never really thought about that much, I just accepted it as that. But since I am going to list this for sale, I would like to be a little surer if possible. I realize it is a fairly classic shape, and I would probably put it at mid-60s by my gut feeling, but I would like to know what you all think, or if for some reason you would give it a completely different dating.
It is cotton velvet/velveteen with a synthetic lining, I am showing the labels it has. The velvet is almost flawless and it certainly has kept very well. I can feel some very, very soft thin pads on the shoulders. The shape is fairly straight, bit a little bit of shaping at the waist though - it falls beautifully when worn and is about hip-length. The only closure is a little hook and eye at the neck.
Thanks for your input!
