Hello everyone
I just purchased this lovely black (wool?) jacket, and I would really appreciate any help with dating it. Just based on the shape and the sloped shoulders, I am getting a new look vibe, something late forties early fifties, but I could be totally off. The only label on it says Béve
The waist is super cinched in, it has three buttons made from something that looks like bakelite or another type of plastic. It is fully lined, a bit loose on some of the inside seams, and I see no signs of overlocking or shearing anywhere. I did a burn test on some of the loose threads in the lining - it smells very meaty and organic and burns up quickly (I made a video that I am not sure I will be able to attach.
It has lovely shaped pockets that make it flare out a bit at the bottom, emphasizing the waspy waist. They have some beading and a thick silky type of embroidery.
Thank you in advance for your expertise
