1950s | Cropped Blazer | Taupe - 14

Description:

Item:
Vintage 1950s cropped blazer with a neat shaped collar, two-button front and a short boxy cut. Clean, structured silhouette with subtle tailoring through the body and unusual shaped pocket detailing at the lower front, giving it that sharp, compact mid-century look. A very tidy, understated piece with the sort of proportion that makes 1950s jackets so distinctive.

Era:
1950s

Brand:
Not stated

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents well with light, honest wear consistent with age and use. No obvious major issues visible from the image.

Provenance Note:
This is a good 1950s jacket because the appeal is in the cut rather than surface decoration. The cropped length, clean front and sculptural pocket details give it that concise, well-resolved mid-century shape that modern tailoring rarely bothers to reproduce properly. It has a restrained look, but not a plain one, and that makes it very useful: easy to wear, easy to place with other pieces, and still clearly of its period. A strong example of the sort of understated vintage tailoring that works through proportion and construction rather than noise.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
