1960s | Houndstooth Wool Blouse | Black And Cream - 18

Description:

Item: Original 1960s houndstooth wool blouse in black and cream with a neat rounded collar, button front fastening and two front patch pockets. Softly shaped through the shoulders with an easy, slightly boxy cut through the body, giving it that practical mid-century daywear silhouette. Works as a blouse or overshirt depending on styling.

Era: 1960s

Brand: Mac Mac

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest signs of age and wear only. The houndstooth remains sharp and well defined, the shape is clean, and it presents very well overall. A smart, wearable piece with plenty of life left in it.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the kind of understated 1960s piece that works because the cloth and cut do all the talking. The houndstooth gives it real graphic presence, while the blouse shape keeps it easy to wear with modern wardrobes. It has that clean, quietly refined look that makes good vintage daywear so appealing.

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.
