Vintage 1940s Lilli Ann Mulberry Purple Gaberdine Jacket

We all worship the clever and beautiful details on a Lili Ann piece and this is no exception.

It’s with great despair I let this beauty go as it actually never fit me but I just didn’t want to part with it. Now my loss can be your gain with this fabulous piece.

The gaberdine is the highest quality I have ever seen. Just stroking it feels incredible. There are buttons on the sleeve cuffs. The back of the neck, the edges of the elongated collar and 4 down the front. The buttons feel like lucite and are a dark brownish purple.

There is ruching on the sides and the cuffs fold over. The lining is in impeccable condition.

CONDITION: This jacket is in almost perfect condition. The only issues I see is a faint shininess down the back seam and a little discoloration the half the size of a sunflower seed on the jacket sleeve. These issues would not be noticed unless you were inspecting the jacket with a magnifying glass. I am going to rate it as being in EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION.
