Clipper Craft Tweed

[fedoralover]

I just found this Clipper Craft wool tweed jacket at Goodwill. It is in excellent condition with the leather buttons in great shape and it fits perfect. I'm not sure of the era? 60s or 70s? The 70s tweeds I've seen generally have wider lapels. Any body have an idea? I like the scalloped pockets.






Here's a 70s Clipper Craft Tweed. But maybe there was more variety than I remember.

With a little research I answered my own question on this jacket. "The Blade" used to be called "The Gay Blade". They changed the name in the early 70s to just "The Blade" which is what the label says. So that would put the jacket in the time frame after that.

yes, it's 70s.

too low of a buttoning (with a larger lapel width) for it to be 60's, would've guessed it to be 70's at least. The tattersall check one is amazing
