Jean Jacket

This jean jacket matches the Denim Skirt.

From the 1986 catalogue: “To us, this perennial classic epitomizes American style. Ours is traditionally detailed but in all other respects a long way from basic jean jacket. We garment-washed the pigment-dyed denim to get rid of it’s stiffness, then lined it in soft Portuguese flannel. In the gusseted action back, between lining and jacket, we sewed a stretch panel for maximum flexibility. Antiqued brass buttons set off the sage-hued denim; the luxurious sheepskin collar can be detached when the weather warms up. A tough yet sophisticated jacket for the woman who might be wrangling stock one day, wrangling a restaurant table the next.”
