Man's Lumberjacket
This excellent gent’s lumberjacket was a very popular style in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Worn slightly larger than the usual close-fitting ladies’ garments, you get a great ‘boyfriend’ cardigan look, the pleated pockets and garter stitch collar giving it some stand-out detail.
