Lit Bros. Philidelphia men\'s jacket -date?

here's some unedited pics - hope you can make the jacket out in the gloom, sorry! i'm just trying to steam through a load of menswear, as i have decided that i can't afford to store outerwear any longer unless it is literally 24 carat gold as it takes up so much room!
i really like this jacket, and it's very well made and lovely colours.
single breasted w/ button hole (non functioning), slightly padded shoulders, 2 front flap pockets and a chest pocket top left. 2 button cuffs.
1950's? i know the Lit Bros. was going for years so that doesn't really narrow it down too much.. changed computers and i had a really good link bookmarked for dating menswear that i am now unable to re-find! grr. so anyway:









thank you !!

:D

Its hard to tell because i can't see the lapels it could be 50s but it could also be early 60s as the three button styling happened then too

what about backvents? one or two or none?

Here is one site I found. I don't know how good it is, though.

Let me look in my book.

It looks like 1960 to me.

thank you! - gosh, my connection died and i came back to all this help

single back vent, and the collar /pockets v. similar to yours chris. so i think we nailed it!

thanks for the link linda - i am going to go back and have a little look around there! will go with c.1960.
