Lightly structured but easy through the body with a loose, slightly boxy cut that sits somewhere between a blouse and a lightweight jacket. Clean, graphic silhouette with a subtle Eastern-influenced feel typical of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"493\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"481\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s–1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"756\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"509\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition with light, honest signs of age and wear.

The bright blue gives it immediate presence, while the frog fastening and stand collar add just enough detail to set it apart from a standard light layer. It has that clean, confident late-60s into 70s look that works beautifully now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize on garment: N\/A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur modern sizing estimate: 10                                                                                                         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShoulders: 18\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBust: 36\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWaist at garment: 36\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInner sleeve: 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNape to hem: 25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease be aware. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected.
