A chambray stripe sack jacket, estimated to date from the 1910s.
A special arrival.
When one thinks of formal French vintage pieces, the sack jacket surely comes to mind.
Four front buttons, a tightly constructed collar, the distinctive cutline at the hem characteristic of sack tailoring, sleeves constructed with dimensional precision—in every detail, a beautiful garment.
The A-line silhouette and shorter jacket length, compared to a tailored sport coat, allow one to experience its vintage character more fully.
The fabric itself has an interesting hand—crisp and structured with a subtle play of texture—something I had not encountered before in pieces of this era.
The sizing runs small, so it would be well-suited to a smaller frame.
There are signs of wear and repair, though the condition remains remarkably clean given its age.
No significant damage that would impair wear, so it is very much ready to be worn.
A rare piece, seldom encountered. Should you have been searching for something of this nature, this would be the moment.
