Harris Tweed Sport Coat 1960s?

[laurenm]

Hi Everyone,
Somehow I'm not sure on this one. It has a dryclean only tag. 1960s? 70s?
Thanks for any help.

Wide lapels, wide flaps on pockets, long center vent and fitted profile has more of a 70s vibe to me.

Is it full lined or only half back lined?

 

[laurenm]

It is fully lined.

Thought your jacket looked familiar. Except for side vents I sold a very close match to the one you have. At the time I dated it late 60s into early 70s.

You have to think very conservatively with these jackets, as they are still sold today and worn as a staple by men of a certain age. I'd place this one in the late 1970s-1980s.

thanks everyone! I think the Care/fiber label is what was throwing me off and making me think earlier?
