Just read the mill that produced this closed in 1958. Someone steal this jacket!

I like the look of it but does anyone have more info? I tried googling the manufacturer but didn't have any luck... I'm looking throught the Hollywood Jacket thread now. Can anybody point me to some info on the manufacturer?

Thanks,
Riothamus

Nice jacket but not my size. I'd snatch it up otherwise.

The jacket is way too big for me too, otherwise I would've bought it. I believe they misspelled "Lanshire" and meant to say "Lancashire Imperial Union Fashion."

Here is a link of a Lanshire Imperial leisure coat ad in 1977.

gamez32, thanks for posting that. It appears the jacket is actually from the 70's! That makes it less exciting... Unless the seller agrees to my offer I'll probably pass for now.

Well sheesh amazing what a little research can do! Makes it less cool, but still a cool looking jacket done up very well in the 50's style (albeit different material)
