RESERVED FOR FRAN - PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE -  LAYAWAY PAYMENT 1 OF 2 due 4th March 2024

This incredible blazer was made in the 1940s from bright royal blue gabardine. It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with strong padded shoulders and a nipped waist. The notched collar has been rounded and the unusual asymmetric plackets follow this rounded line to give a wonderful design detail. Four bright blue buttons fasten the jacket along this asymmetric line and functional slit pockets add a practical feature. Inside, the blazer is lined in blue crepe and has a maker’s label for Frost Bros, the iconic Forstmann label and a National Recovery Board tag. 

Bust: 36”

Waist: 28”

Shoulders: 15” seam to seam

Length: 25”

The blazer is in very good condition with only some minor external flaws and some discolouration to the lining as pictured.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in pure white cotton.

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
