Blazer - 1960s British Tweed + 1900s Millinery Silk Velvet
Contrasting colors collide in this wool and silk velvet blazer. A dark cocoa herringbone wool and silky cream lining weave into this warm straight fitted blazer, with an unexpected pop of pink fluffy silk velvet at the undercollar and inside cuff. Brown buttons finish this warm jacket. Perfectly cozy and unique with jeans and booties on an autumnal day.
Fabric
1960 British tweed, likely a wool blend. The color could be called dark cocoa.
1900 French millinery silk velvet. Collar and cuff trim is a millinery (hats) silk velvet in an eye-catching bright pink. It has a fluffy texture. I purchased it from a fabric collector.
