This is a rare vintage 1940s era ladies’ ski jacket. The jacket has padded squared shoulders. slanted chest pockets and button down cuffs. The waist is “tucked” at the sides and the back is elasticized so that the waist is accented. It closes with a Lightning brand metal zipper down the front. The jacket is lined in orange toned fabric.
Label: None, but definitely manufactured
Sizing: There is no size label, and although this should fit a medium size, please rely on the following measurements for fit, taking the style of the jacket and the thickness of the fabric into consideration:
Shoulders: 16” across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam
Sleeves: 25 1/2” from shoulder seam
Sleeve Inseam: 18”
Bust: 42” around
Waist: 35” around
Bottom: 41” around
Overall length: 25”, measured flat
Condition: It is in very good condition - no wear, tear, fading or staining. The elastic in the back has probably lost some elasticity, but this doesn’t affect the look.
This is a wonderful vintage ski jacket - really rare to find 1940s examples in this clean condition!
