    Hey ALL,
    I'm not sure if there is a specific term for a jacket like this....I'm fairly certain it is 1970s?
    Thanks for any help.

    Lauren,

    That is a beautiful jacket! I agree with your assessment of a 1970s date, leaning to the earlier part of the decade, around 1972-1973. When it is belted, it brings to mind the late 1920s and early 1930s aviator jackets worn by pilots.

    Again, what a beauty!

    It reminds me of a short trench style. Very nice.

    I don't think they have a specific name but the keyword is a belted jacket. which immediately puts in mind the shape you have displayed.
