A wonderful Pauline Trigere jacket with that classic boxed and cropped shape that was so prevalent in the late fifties and early 60s. It is very well made, with the entire lining hand set into place. Inside, you can see the perfect tiny hand stitches that secure the lining of the sleeves into place. The exterior is equally as smart. The front is very simple with the detailing left to those huge buttons on the front of the waist. The sleeves are also kept simple. The back is a bit of a surprise when you realize that the vertical lines are all actually wide pleat panels of fabric so when the wearer moves you get a very interesting visual effect. Love the nod to sportswear with the seaming across the shoulders. Excellent condiiton
