Description
1950’s Early 60’s Shawl Collared Tuxedo Jacket in an iridescent gunmetal fabric, most likely silk. The jacket has an incredible metallic sheen to it.. the likes I’ve never seen in a mid century tux jacket before.
This tux jacket would be great for performing on stage.
There are 2 lower pockets and one breast pocket on the outside and one breast pocket inside. The jacket is completely lined in silver satin.
This is a very well made tux jacket.. in a rare and beautiful iridescent gunmetal fabric.
This jacket is shown with a vintage shirt & bow tie, these are not included in the sale.
This garment is in EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION… with a few faint water marks that is hard to see because of the fabric’s sheen.
