Yes, we’re still in it (with temps in the “teens and winter storms) but these jackets start moving us toward Spring with winter white (a traditional late-winter color) and an unlined style.

Jacket #1 on the left is wool with a full lining. No labels remain. Look at the details! Clothing from the ’40s and ’50s had such interesting tailoring touches – every one I find is different in its own way. This one probably had a skirt that went with it at one time . . . . . .

Jacket #2 is lighter-weight and unlined. It does have a matching skirt and was made by the Lampl company. Worn as a cute little suit or as separates, it’s also a winner – looks like a fashion for a ’40s working girl. Neither of these jackets have the iconic huge shoulders of the 1940s, so I would place them toward the end of the decade or, possibly, in the early 1950s. No matter – I always do a little jump for joy when I discover one!

As posted yesterday, I had a FABULOUS day doing my undercover work. It looks like I’ll be able to post daily again, every day excepting Sunday (so that I can get some other things done!) I may skip another day here or there if I’m traveling or something else is happening. I’ll let you know if that comes up. Please join me again tomorrow!
