Two fabrics, completely different in character, have been cut and assembled into something sensational. The upper body, collar, sleeves and hem band are solid magenta in a firm wool-rich blend knit with real substance and warmth. Triangular panels at the chest and a wide horizontal panel across the upper back are cut from a dense jacquard knit in cream and deep plum, carrying a bold scrolling paisley that almost mimics carved stonework from a distance and reveals its detail up close.

Through the shoulder and upper chest the solid magenta panels give good definition and width without bulk. This is a rescue piece with several areas of concern as shown, making it an ideal candidate for a skilled reworker or someone who wants a statement jacket project. Worn with character, or reworked into something that will last another thirty years.
