Late 1940s Black & Cream Bouclé Tweed Sports Blazer – Velvet Collar – Jancourt Petite Sports
Late 1940s Black & Cream Bouclé Tweed Sports Blazer – Velvet Collar – Jancourt Petite Sports
Sports tailoring from the late 1940s into the early 1950s often carried the polish of a suit in a more relaxed form, and this Jancourt blazer is a lovely example. The cloth is a chunky black and cream bouclé, flecked and slubbed so that it reads almost like salt and pepper from a distance, and it is cut close to the body with a neatly nipped waist and a gentle flare over the hip.
A rounded black velvet collar softens the front, and a small velvet tab fastened with a button sits high on the chest as a quiet decorative touch. It is a smart, compact jacket that sits happily over a dress, a pencil skirt or high-waisted trousers.

Why You'll Love It
The texture does a lot of the work here. It is a jacket that looks considered with very little effort, and the velvet collar lifts it just enough for evenings and dressier occasions. Wear it with a crisp white blouse and a dark skirt, or let it sit over a printed dress to break up the pattern. A refined, wearable piece of mid-century sportswear for the vintage wardrobe or the collector.
