Thank you for your help in narrowing down the date for this Traina-Norell jacket. VFG has a similar label for 1950s, but I read that Norell teamed up with Traina as early as the 1940s. I don't think this jacket would be considered a bolero style, but not sure. The small collar and full cut sleeves with elastic at the cuffs are different details from 40s, 50s jackets I've found. Lovely hand stitched lining.

Please let me know if you need any additional images or details.

The Traina-Norell label doesn't change much between 1941 and 1960 from what I have seen (even though Traina died in 1958, Norell continued to use the label up to 1960) The typeface changes a little over time and this does look like typical 1950s typeface, however, the jacket has a pretty broad shoulder line, like its late 40s up to 1950ish.
