Vintage 1940s 1950s Mexican tourist jacket wool appli Gem 1950s Kids Mexican Souvenir Applique Jacket Gem Mexican jacket Gem 1940s Mexican Souvenir Jacket: Hand Embroidered Red Wool Tourist Coat vintage Cortes 100% Wool mexican souvenir jacket size Gem Vintage 1940's 1950's Mexican Souvenir Jacket Red Wool Felt Colorful. 1940's royal blue Mexican souvenir jacket with beautiful super colorful applique detail on front and back. This jacket has a wonderful array of traditional Mexican scenes such as banana trees, cacti, vases, blankets and people going about their business. It's beautifully done. This was purchased at a local estate sale and came with a note left by the original owner. A photo of the note is attached and I will include it with the jacket. The note says this jacket was handmade for her in the 40s when she was 8 she lived in Arizona at the time and they were quite popular in the American southwest. It is however a generous size for an 8 year old and they were more popular in the 50s. Makes me wonder a little if she had her dates a bit wrong, but they were a prominent family in our community, her husband was the principal of the local downtown high school for a number of years. Being handmade there are no tags in this jacket. However it is so beautifully made. I've been lucky enough to restore and resell quite a few of these Mexican souvenir jackets and this is one of the most detailed I've seen. I did give it a soak and steam and fixed a few small seam separations so the condition now is excellent with no holes, stains or odors. Size is a modern medium or around a size 6 8 and the measurements are as follows: Bust 38" (but open) Length 24. 5" Please let me know if you need anymore photos or measurements.
