1960 Houndstooth Collared Jumpsuit

1960 Houndstooth Collared JumpsuitSoooooo, this thing is soooo cool. The houndstooth material is a nice medium weight, high quality material and top notch make. It's such great vintage couture. If this fit me I would first have the legs hemmed up to a crop length and pair it with some slim legged leather boots. To really Fall Winterize this I would even do a long sleeve turtleneck top underneath it for some cool layer and a nice felt hat. It's definitely a statement piece. In

Soooooo, this thing is soooo cool. The houndstooth material is a nice medium weight, high-quality material and top notch make. It's such great vintage couture. If this fit me I would first have the legs hemmed up to a crop length and pair it with some slim legged leather boots. To really Fall / Winterize this I would even do a long sleeve turtleneck top underneath it for some cool layer and a nice felt hat. It's definitely a statement piece. In excellent vintage condition.

I would all this a Medium. I'm a Small and find that it is a little loose in the chest and hip area. I have the belt tied back quite taught and have tucked some of the material in the behind to get a true visual of what it should fit like properly. There is a bit of stretch to the material, but not much, about an inch all around. As usual please refer to the below measurements for most accurate fit.

TLC: The belt in the back is a button back belt. There are two eyelets. There is one button missing. An easy fix. I was going to replace them but I wanted to keep the original button on there for reference of colour and style. Also, this belt can be easily altered depending on fit. It could become a tighter belt if needed and made into a single button belt instead.
