The jacket has a long, pointed spearpoint collar that opens over strong, padded shoulders, then narrows to a neat, fitted waist before flaring gently over the hip. The wool is a soft taupe with a very fine pinstripe in cream and brown, quiet from a distance and more interesting up close. It comes with its matching slim pencil skirt, cut straight to the calf.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe detail is where it earns its place. Five large buttons in a mock-horn finish run down the front, and the hip pockets are set on a slant so they flatter the waist. The seaming through the body shapes the jacket without any fuss. A small welted chest pocket sits on the left, and the sharp dagger collar offers a striking feature. The pinstripe runs vertically through the skirt as well, which lengthens the line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Lightweight wool, lined in satin \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Taupe with fine cream and brown pinstripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign Details: Spearpoint collar, four-button front, princess seaming, fitted waist with flared hip, slanted hip pockets, welted chest pocket, straight pencil skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilhouette: Structured shoulders, nipped waist, slim skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBust: 36”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 29”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulders: 16 1\/4” seam to seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSkirt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 26”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHip: 40”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 32 1\/2” plus 1” hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood condition with a few small external flaws as pictured and some damage to the lining and discolouration inside the collar. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA neutral suit in the best sense. The colour sits easily with black, cream or a deep rust, and the stripe is fine enough to read almost as a plain. The jacket works on its own over trousers or a simple dress, though together the two pieces give you the full 1940s line. A lovely suit for anyone building a wardrobe around original tailoring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShop now to own a wonderful piece of 1940s tailoring, and browse the rest of our curated collection of vintage suits and coats.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4918\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Sheep Antiques","offers":[{"title":"With Dress Shields","offer_id":55705720684920,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0360\/1078\/6861\/files\/DD7FACF9-05EB-4619-998D-AC9A2A95C696.jpg?v=1792337026","url":"https:\/\/blacksheepantiques.co.uk\/products\/1940s-taupe-pinstripe-wool-skirt-suit-spearpoint-collar-tailored-jacket","provider":"Black Sheep Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
