1960s Vintage Tuxedo Jacket Shiny Blue Brocade Size M

This is a fabulous 1960s vintage tuxedo jacket featuring a shiny brocade blue and black mohair and wool blended fabric.  The jacket has padded shoulders, rickrack edged shawl lapels, and pockets at either side and at the left chest - there are pocket flaps, but I’ve posed the pockets as jetted pockets with the flaps hidden inside the pockets.  There is a 10” vent at the centre back.  This 1960s vintage tuxedo jacket does up with a single black plastic button at the waist.  There are two black plastic buttons at either cuff. It is half lined in a black acetate fabric.
