early 1920s inspired Norfolk / shop jacket made from
heavy khaki cotton twill (washed).
vintage buttons and sleeve lining.
Reece 101 buttonholes and sewn eyelet.
Another wonderful creation. I've never seen a piece of apparel referred to as a shop jacket. Was this something a craftsman would wear in the shop, or is an item that a shopkeeper might wear instead of a wool suit jacket. I'd like to know more. Regards, Bill in NY

hi Bill, the latter; a workwear jacket worn by shopkeepers and also by stewards, delivery men etc. sometimes they have contrasting cuffs and collars.
