Wool Act Jacket - L

This jacket is made from a National Price Controlled Blanket from Great Britain. These blankets were circulated after the 1941 Wool Act, which regulated clothing and fabric manufacturing—industries stressed by the demand for wartime uniform production.

Price Controlled Blankets like this one were a solution to the spiking price of wool—the government's attempt to keep warm wool blankets available to civilians, despite the war efforts.

We preserved the original label along the hem of this cream wool jacket. Hand-mending throughout.

• Elongated fit
