The Navy Officer - F&F
Description
Sizing on secondhand garments can vary from modern standards. We recommend checking the measurements against a similar garment you already own before purchasing.
Label size: 8 (UK sizing)
EU size: approx. 36
This one photographs as black but it's actually a very deep navy. The fabric is smooth and structured, with a military edge that doesn't tip into costume.
It's a double-breasted jacket with ten brass-toned buttons arranged in two rows, plus two more on each epaulette. The epaulettes themselves are a nice detail, small tabs with a brass button that lift the whole silhouette. The front pockets are decorative rather than functional (fake pockets). Clean seam lines run down the back and give it a fitted shape from behind.
The lining is plain navy and in perfect condition throughout.
