Fun 1950s 2-Toned Embroidered Mexican Tourist Jacket Size S

Description: This listing is for a Fun 1950s 2-Toned Embroidered Mexican Tourist Jacket Size S. This is an iconic Mexican jacket that was made for the tourists visiting Mexico in the 1940s to the 1960s. This jacket has a beige front with contrasting red pockets that features embroidered villagers, lots of cacti, a church, and a mountain with a sunrise. The back and sleeves are red. The sleeves have an elaborate scene of a villager in a serape with cacti and agaves, and a sunrise. The back has intricate embroidery of an amusing array of villagers being terrorized by a runaway bull. There is also a church, houses, a well, trees, cacti and agaves. Based on the puffed sleeves and collared front, this jacket is mid-1950s when 2-toned jackets were introduced. It also has green and blue cross stitching around the neckline, down the front, across the bottom and around the cuffs and pockets. This jacket is in beautiful condition with no holes, stains, or missing threads. This is a very fine example of a master embroiderer where the embroidery is very finely done, and there are lots of intricately embroidered figures throughout. Any dark areas are shadows from photographing. These jackets, meant to be worn open, always look great with jeans, skirts, and especially, with the vintage Mexican circle skirts. I have a collection of over 140 of these jackets that I have amassed over the last 35 years. I have really enjoyed wearing these jackets over the years, and at this point in my life, I have decided to sell off my whole collection. I selected only jackets that were in impeccable condition. My jackets have been stored in a cedar lined, cool storage space to prevent any damage from sunlight or insects. I have collected every color and design imaginable. Most are a size S or M. You can be assured that my jackets are in beautiful condition. Please check back as I will post more over the next several months. It is guaranteed that you are going to receive admiring compliments whenever you wear this jacket. They are very bright and colorful jackets that make people smile when they see you wearing them.
