A classic, killer 1940s blazer—just look at those shoulders! This beauty is from Bullock’s department store, which first opened its doors at the corner of Seventh and Broadway in Los Angeles in 1907. While there was likely another label inside, it’s since been lost to time.
Expertly crafted, the fabric feels like gabardine with a subtle sheen, though I can't be 100% sure of the material. The blazer features fabulously padded shoulders, a nipped waist, faux pocket lapels at the bust, and true pockets at the hips. The colour is best described as a very deep navy/aubergine purple.
Condition: Excellent for its age. Some light fading here and there but nothing major. A couple of very light grazes to the fabric near the shoulder.
Shown on an approx UK size 6 mannequin (B:34"/W:25"/H:34”)

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
