Description: This listing is for a Sweet 1950s 2-Toned Mexican Embroidered Tourist Jacket w/Fringe Size XS/S. This is an iconic Mexican jacket that was made for the tourists visiting Mexico in the 1940s to the 1960s. This unusual jacket is a lovely bluish gray with a partial white front and pockets. It also has turquoise colored fringe, which is rare, down the front, and turquoise and white cross stitching. It has a ton of interesting embroidery that depicts village life including villagers, a donkey, and many types of flora inherent to the plants found in Mexico. This jacket is circa early to mid 1950s when 2-toned jackets were introduced, and fringe added a few years later. This jacket is in beautiful condition with no holes, stains, or missing threads, and the embroidery work is very well executed by a skilled embroiderer. 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. Vintage inlaid Mexican necklace not included. To learn more about my jackets, please see the Youtube podcast about me and my jackets by Googling "Show and Tell Mexican Tourist jackets".
