Estimated 1910s, a black linen herringbone twill fireman jacket.
A particularly exceptional arrival.
While metis and indigo linen fireman jackets appear from time to time, examples rendered in black linen remain remarkably scarce.
Seven front buttons.
Compared to pieces fitted with shoulder epaulettes, this carries considerably less theatrical quality, making it entirely wearable in everyday life—a genuine advantage.
The colour sits not as pure black but rather in that deeper sumi-black tone, with an exceptional presence.
The sizing runs somewhat small, making this piece particularly suited to those of more compact frame.
Pieces of this rarity seldom surface. Should you have been searching, this warrants consideration.
