really fantastic lightweight rayon ricky style rockabilly jacket from the early 1950s. I was able to find ads for really similar jackets all from about 1953 which seems right for this piece. This one still has it's original tags including a couple spare buttons in one of them! (it's sealed so I haven't opened it to see the condition of the spare buttons). Also, the buttons have little crowns on them!!!
