Rare… 1930’s-40’s Double Breasted Linen Jacket by PALM BEACH for Maurice L. Rothschild.. in a natural creamy white linen.
The double breasted jacket is a larger size, which is unusual to find.. This jacket has a wide shawl collar with natural mother of pearl buttons, a ventless back, one breast pocket and 2 low welt pockets. There is one interior breast pocket as well. This is a fine quality medium weight natural Palm Beach linen cloth.
This jacket has more of a boxy cut and can be tailored to fit the wearer by simply moving the buttons which will tighten the fabric along the hip area.
