A vintage American tailored jacket by Adele Simpson, retailed through Garfinckel’s of Washington, D.C., executed in a crisp, slub-textured plaid suiting with bold navy contrast facings. Cut in a short, waist-skimming silhouette, the jacket presents a structured shoulder line and clean, fitted body, balanced by elongated sleeves. The front is finished with an assertive, wide notched collar in deep navy—an intentional color-block detail echoed at the cuffs—framing a pared, single-breasted closure secured by large, glossy domed buttons. The plaid weave reads as a white/gray ground with fine black threads and red overchecks, offering a classic mid-century graphic suited to daywear or cocktail layering. Adele Simpson’s label is accompanied by a Garfinckel’s Washington retailer tag, placing the garment within the milieu of high-end American department-store fashion, when Simpson’s sophisticated ready-to-wear was carried by leading specialty and department houses.
