As you will see from the photographs, the Harris Tweed label is from the 1930s to 1940s period and is a fine example. As is the accompanying Montague-Burton label (often seen with the wartime CC41 tag).
This single-vented jacket is very solid and ready to wear. I've had a small hole in the outer tweed rewoven and you wouldn't know it was there. The tweed has had a steam clean and pressing.
With age there are some minor rust stains on the inside of the lining (see photos) and a couple of nips in the inside (see photos indicating this).
One of the sleeve linings is starting to separate ever so slightly (see photo) but a needle and thread would quickly sort that out (I've worn it even with that separation).
None of this detracts from this being a gorgeous jacket that is ready-to-wear from the 'golden era' period of menswear.
Buttons are a gorgeous butterscotch colour that compliment the moss green and fawn herringbone weave of this lovely 'hand made' Scottish Hebridean fabric.
