This is a custom tailored vintage mod suit jacket featuring 1968 dandy styling.  This vintage mod suit jacket is made with a white pinstriped black wool fabric in a style that seems to take inspiration from 1920s or 30s gangster fashion.  The jacket has wide padded shoulders and is made with wide lapels in a six button double breasted style and with more length than usual.  There is a vertical pocket built into either side.  The sleeves have two button cuffs.  The back has a double vent made with folded panels.  This vintage mod suit jacket is fully lined in an abstract multicoloured print.
