JC Petersen. Fun pattern fabric. I like it but it's far too small.[huh]

Is it really from the 30s? The weave did remind me of the holy grail suits from a while back.

That is the craziest fabric I've seen. The lapels look more 70s, though, with the very high gorge and rather large notch. Am I just seeing things (brought on by that pattern)?

Small world. That jacket is from my great great-grandfather's haberdashery that was here in Boone.


I believe it to be from the 1970s. The lapels have that shape to them.

It is from the early 1970s ... but that type of wool weave dates back to the 1920s. In fact, it's almost a '20s stereotype.

If I found this jacket at a yard sale and it had some damage, I'd sent it to a really good cap maker and have him/her create a vintage-looking newsboy cap with the fabric.

Thank you for the answers.

yep. clearly channelling some of the fancy diamond weaves of the 20s:
