Vintage 1990s Millemiglia Italian Dinner Jacket Black Wool w Velvet Shawl Collar

This is a vintage men's formal evening jacket by Millemiglia, made in Italy and dating to approximately the 1990s.

The jacket is tailored in black wool with a contrasting black velvet shawl collar. It has a single-velvet covered button front, welted breast pocket, jetted hip pockets and two-button cuffs. The relatively deep shawl collar gives the jacket a traditional formal evening-wear appearance.

The interior is fully lined in dark blue patterned fabric, with contrasting striped fabric used at the sleeve openings. The manufacturer's label reads "Millemiglia – Made in Italy," and the garment carries an Italian size 50 label. The fibre label identifies virgin wool and appears also to indicate mohair.

Although jackets of this type are sometimes described as smoking jackets, the tailored construction and formal shawl collar are more characteristic of a dinner or evening jacket.
