Really hard to find EARLY 1950s denim jacket! It's so crispy I think it's deadstock honestly!!! So in my research I was able to find that this brand did a lot of women's denim and sportswear. Almost everything was available in a few variations (like shorts, jackets, etc all in the same set pattern). Most jacket would have a cropped and short swing version. I was able to find the ads for the short cropped version of this one from about 1950-1953! Sadly none of them showed this variation but I'm pretty certain it was part of that collection specifically. Anyways it's wonderful and can be worn open front or with a belt (belt is NOT included). There are slight shoulder pads.
