Miss Huddleston-Mooney's tailored tweed riding jacket 1951 M

Fitted and hand tailored equestrian jacket with notched lapels, shoulder pads and centre front buttons. Flared hem with centre back vent for horse riding

Front slanted side welted pockets with flaps. Vent to cuffs with single button (non-functioning). Oiled cotton lining to rear.

Includes type written tailor's label revealing the date of manufacture and the original wearer: Miss B. Huddleston-Mooney. I'm sure she had a jolly good time in it too.
