Child’s Vintage 1950s Red Mexican Tourist/Souvenir Embroidered Jacket

Description: This listing is for a Child’s Vintage 1950s Red Mexican Tourist/Souvenir Embroidered Jacket This is an iconic Mexican jacket that was made for the tourists visiting Mexico in the 1940s to the 1960s. It is a beautiful deep red colored wool felt with embroidered whimsical designs of embroidered flowers, and appliquéd hats, jars, and rugs on the front. The back of the jacket has the historical figures of the China Poblana and Vaquero dancing couple. There is green and white cross stitching around the collar, down the front and around the bottom as well as around the two pockets and cuffs. This is a lovely example of this design for children's jackets. This jacket is in excellent condition with no holes, stains, or missing threads. A previous owner added a larger twisted metal hook and eye closure at the neckline of the jacket. The embroidery and appliqué work are skillfully executed, especially, for a child's jacket. Any dark areas are shadows from photographing. These jackets can be worn for special occasions such as Halloween, or can be worn casually with denim, a skirt, or a dress. Many women have told me that they remember wearing a jacket like this when they were a child, but don't know whatever happened to it, and they wished they still had it. When your child outgrows this jacket, you should consider having it professionally framed so that it will be a fashion art keepsake for either you or your child and makes a great, colorful artwork. I have a collection of over 140 of these jackets that I have amassed over the last 35 years. I have really enjoyed wearing and collecting these jackets over the years, and at this point in my life, I have decided to sell off my whole collection. I selected only child jackets that were in wonderful 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. You can be assured that my jackets are in beautiful condition.
