Jacket info

Wowza! That jacket is amazing! Excellent sleuthing on the buttons, too.
I suppose the straps give it a somewhat military vibe, but really, I'd say more avant garde.
No label? Looks like something Adrian might design.

 

I agree with Marsha. "Military" might draw in some buyers, but it is quite avant garde - particularly for the era.

 

While the placement of the discoloration is most unfortunate... tailored jackets from this era are always incredibly popular, and I've sold many in less than perfect condition. You might even suggest over-dying it to lessen the flaw. That's what I'd do in a heartbeat if it were mine.

 

A well selected scarf worn around the neck and under the strap might draw attention away from the problem area. Or not.

I should add that this route is for a professional or experienced dyer and not something for an inexperienced dyer to undertake, as one would need to be familiar with fabric absorption and potential shrinkage of outer layer vs. lining, blocking, etc. A good professional dyer (I live in L.A., and there are many) would be the best bet in this case.

 

That is a fabulous jacket. Could we see a close up of where the label was or might have been? And a photo of the lining (close up of that also if possible). Also, is the jacket's fabric a lighter weight or more standard weight fabric? It does remind me of several designers.

Really nice , despite any flaws.

 

Fabulous design. Too bad about the flaws and their unfortunate placement.

Are they wear spots or stains? Or fading from old stains.

 

Agree with Maggie - gabardine - it's lovely.

 

This is an Adrian that I own. It supposedly belonged to Janet Gaynor. My jacket has bound buttonholes.
I think Victoria's jacket might have been inspired by the Adrian look, but the buttonholes don't have welts; they are just faced holes.

 

So awesome! Buttons are underrated.

 

If you can enlarge my photo, the buttonholes have two strips of fabric inside the rectangle. On your jacket the opening is a faced hole.

The lining is put in by hand and perhaps the shoulder seams on the jacket and lining. This is high quality. If you show more details of the lining seams, I can tell you about quality but not who made it.
