James Galanos Brown Tweed Jacket w Matching Sleeveless Fringe Top - M, 1980s

About the Item

When it came to the details, no one paid attention like James Galanos. To wit, this set is lined with the same quality silk many designers use on the exterior of their dresses; the sleeveless top features such a profusion of wool fringe that it could easily pass for a shift if it were longer. This is truly a "grab and go" ensemble that requires nothing but a pair of black trousers to finish it. Would look exquisite with our matching Galanos bowler hat, listed separately. Vintage jacket and top set featuring sleeveless shell with front and rear horizontal yoke and princess seams; hidden rear button and snap closure. 2 ½” wool fringe around entire bottom circumference; fully lined in silk crepe. Matching jacket features sloped pointed collar, bracelet sleeves and exaggerated round shoulder created by front and rear horizontal yoke stitching. Four-button front closure and on seam front fingertip pockets; fully lined in silk crepe. Extra fabric remnants included. fabric: wool/silk tweed noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: none condition: excellent measurements: •top• shoulders: n/a (16” from outer fabric edge to edge) neckline opening: 6 ¼” diameter, 16” circumference bust: 40” waist: 34” length: 22” from shoulder, 14” from underarm including 2 ½” fringe sweep: 38” •jacket• collar: 3 ½” at widest neckline drop: 4 ½” from shoulder shoulders: approx. 16” sleeve: 21 ½” from shoulder, 14” from underarm sleeve circumference: 16” at upper arm, 12” at wrist bust: 41” waist: 38” length: 23 ½” from shoulder, 14 ¾” from shoulder sweep: 40” label: Galanos / Blum’s-Vogue (Chicago) size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size medium
