Man's Jacket with Removable Peplum and Insertable Pocket Flap

Image 1 of 21 / 2

This casual safari or bush jacket, with bellows pockets and a box-pleated back vent, cleverly converts to a short, mess-style formal coat-simply detach the skirt using the concealed waist zipper and remove the inserted breast pocket flap. The February 1967 issue of Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ) illustrated both options, hailing the jacket as, "A laudable idea for a vacationing resort wardrobe."
