//SOLD//1950s Palm Beach jacket 39 R-L//SOLD//

[Baron Kurtz]

I have a jacket made by the "Palm Beach Company" (and i do have pics around here somewheres; let me upload them when i find them.). It's from the middle-late 50s; I can't remember the tag, but i think it's from after Goodall sold the rights and stopped making the cloth, I certainly don't recall Goodall being on the label, but -thinks- the logo was the same (?) but black not orange text on white. So it's not Palm Beach cloth. It is before the name became synonymous with those horrid 60s and 70s abortions so often seen on eBay. What it is is a slubby silk (or acetate, let me do a burn test). Blue-Grey with black flecks. Really a lovely summer jacket, barely any lining in it at all. I had picked it up for myself hoping it could be made to fit but, Alas!

£15 it's yours. Pics to come.

Chest: 21.5"

Distinct smell of burning paper, and a little hard lump after complete burn. So there you have it: Burn test suggests a rayon and synthetic mix. Not surprising for the era. Pics will be up tomorrow.

Kinda hard to sell a burned-up lump, innit?

OK, thanks.

Pictures:

Light spots are on the camera lens.

Very much mid-late 50s styling. Possibly early 60s?

The fabric: serious amounts of slubbing.
