1950s 2-Toned Appliquéd & Embroidered Mexican Tourist Jacket Size XS

Description: This listing is for a Circa 1940s-50s 2-Toned Black and Mint Green Mexican Embroidered Tourist Jacket Size XS. This is an iconic Mexican jacket that was made for the tourists visiting Mexico in the 1940s to the 1960s. This jacket has a mint green front with contrasting black pockets that features appliquéd and embroidered cacti and flowers. The back and sleeves are black. The sleeves have an appliquéd and embroidered white donkey. The back has intricate appliquéd and embroidery of a night scene of villagers, a palm tree, clouds, and flowers. It also has "Mexico" spelled out with sequins. Based on the extensive appliqué work, this jacket transitions between the late 1940s to early 1950s when 2-toned jackets were introduced. It also has white cross stitching around the collar, down the front, across the bottom and around the cuffs and pockets. This jacket is in beautiful condition with no holes, stains, or missing threads, and the appliqué work is incredible. Any dark areas are shadows from photographing. These jackets, meant to be worn open, always look great with jeans, skirts, and especially, with the vintage Mexican circle skirts. I have a collection of over 140 of these jackets that I have amassed over the last 35 years. I have really enjoyed wearing these jackets over the years, and at this point in my life, I have decided to sell off my whole collection. I selected only jackets that were in impeccable 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. Most are a size S or M. You can be assured that my jackets are in beautiful condition. Please check back as I will post more over the next several months. It is guaranteed that you are going to receive admiring compliments whenever you wear this jacket. They are very bright and colorful jackets that make people smile when they see you wearing them. Vintage inlaid Mexican necklace not included. To learn more about my jackets, please see the Youtube podcast about me and my jackets by Googling "Show and Tell Mexican Tourist jackets".
