40-50s swing fur lined jacket

This faithful vintage jacket.
Being the ALL-WEATHER SWING JACKET was originally designed in 1945 for golfers playing in inclement weather. That design was itself inspired by the 'Harrington' jacket of the late 1930s as 'a functional rainproof jacket for the English modern working man', and became popular among golfers in the U.S
This version is from the late 40s early 50s with a fur liner that’s very hard to come by.
not just for its durable and water-repellent cotton/rayon twill, but for its wearability beyond a spell of rain. Throughout the 50s and 60s the Swing jacket was worn in various interpretations by the celebrity golfing fraternity and was closely associated with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby through the height of its popularity. While back in Britain it came to be adopted by a succession of youth subcultures.

The zipper is believed to be Early USA Talon or General, the zipper puller has come off but can easily be attached again w a keychain ring. (Still fully works)

As the garment ages, the cotton surface will fade to reveal a silken finish, as with the vintage design.
