Florence 1960s Char Handpainted Jacket XS/S
Photos and words can hardly express the magic of this vintage Char suede jacket! It was handmade in the 1960s with incredible details. Someone loved it and took care of it, and now here it is, onto it's next chapter.
Fitted jacket (or shirtjacket) is made from thick moss green suede paired with olive green leather trim along the yoke, cuffs and placket. The smooth leather is covered with a whimsical hand painted floral pattern in coral red, green, purple and orange hues that are still bright after all these years! Chunky rolled toggle closures line the front. Whipstitch edging frames the wide collar, and cross stitch seamwork keeps it all together.
