This very casual mid-century jacket has great features such as big shell buttons in front and at the cuffs, a lining around the neck and upper back for comfort, modest shoulder pads and front patch pockets. Built for practicality, but stylish in true vintage fashion! The label says: Wonder Fabric virgin wool Vagabond by Chippewa.
I love to imagine who wore this and where it was worn. Feels to me like jeans and saddle shoes or Keds would be just right – for a picnic or raking a few leaves. So much fun to find this one! When you’re being a vintage sleuth, it’s one great surprise after another and you just never know . . . .

STELLA SHOWS OFF MY “NEW” TRUE VINTAGE FIFTIES FROCK
TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S HAT – ONE OF THE BEST ERAS!
ONE OF THE MOST FUN FALL ACCESSORIES, . . . . . . .
“Styled by Cinderella New York” – a classic wool brimmed hat with a sophisticated schoolgirl look. The crown is stamped “Berkshire – Mohn Brothers Co. 100% Wool”. Love the plaid ribbon band that forms a bow with streamers in the back. There is also a little elastic chin strap attached!
Picture this with a little suit, skirt and blouse, dress, or whatever you like. Hats were SUCH a big thing in the ’40s with imaginative and flattering styles. Some of them were way over-the-top, but this one is understated and just too cute. Look carefully for gems like this one.
