Help Date This Jacket!

[Gene]

I recently picked up a suit jacket at my local Goodwill for $1 because it caught my eye as being pre-70's vintage.

Upon further inspection, the ACWA union label indicates that it is 1949-1962 thanks to a vintage label website, but is it more early 60's or early 50's?

The label:

Closeup of pattern and lining:

Ticket pocket and button detail:

The suit has very broad shoulders and is very full cut. The lapels are average width (not really thin, not really fat).

Any help is appreciated!

Are there any tell-tale clues to look for? Sorry but I'm not really versed in the subtleties and I'd like to know what to look for later on.

Ayup.


Skinnier lapels, 'atomic' fleck, crazy patterned lining often seen in '50s jackets.
