This jacket is made from a crewelwork panel, c.1870s-1890s. Crewelwork is an embroidery technique that was popular in England in the 17th and 18th centuries. There was a revival of interest in the style in 19th-century America, when this example was created.
The jacket has a band collar and a loose, swing silhouette. It is trimmed with three vintage frog closures. Hand-mending throughout.
