Loafer Jacket – Black Watch Tartan Wool
£580.00
Tax included.
The economic boom of the interwar era and Hollywood’s increasing cultural influence resulted in many leisure-oriented sartorial advances that influenced how American gentlemen dressed outside the office. A byproduct of this era was the casual “Loafer Jacket”, in tribute to its southern Californian origins, and which anticipated the infamous leisure suits that would emerge during the disco era. The loafer jackets suggested more of a tailored influence, often structured like looser and lighter sports coats but with detailing incorporating contemporary casual sensibilities. The jacket features a chest and two patch pocket, along with peaked lapels and a purple lining, reminiscent of Needles.
