A one‑of‑a‑kind, boxy spring–summer jacket cut from collectible mid‑century British furnishing cloth.
A practical choice for anyone who loves vintage textiles and relaxed, oversized silhouettes.
This hip‑length jacket is crafted from Beaulieu, a mid‑20th‑century cotton‑canvas print by Story Fabrics of London. Originally produced as a curtain‑weight furnishing textile, the fabric has a beautifully structured drape that translates effortlessly into a modern, boxy shape.
Designed to fit UK size 12–16 depending on the desired ease, the jacket features:
• Dropped shoulders and a relaxed, oversized silhouette
• A neat collar and lined back yoke
• Five beige front buttons
• Long sleeves with cuffs and two buttons on each
• An exterior and interior hanging loop
• A clean, unlined interior with the hem finished in contrasting red bias binding
The chest and hip both measure 47 inches (119 cm), giving the jacket its signature roomy feel.
Centre‑back length: 24½ inches (62 cm).
Perfect for spring and summer, this is an easy, throw‑on layer with a distinctive mid‑century character — the kind of vintage textile you rarely see outside specialist markets.
Beaulieu Jacket — Vintage Story Fabrics of London (UK 12–16)
The jacket is made from Beaulieu, a named mid‑century furnishing fabric produced by Story Fabrics of London.
The print features richly detailed florals and scrolling motifs in warm reds, greens, creams, and golds — a classic chintz‑style design typical of British home‑décor textiles from the 1950s–1970s.
Originally intended for curtains or light upholstery, the cotton‑canvas has a softly structured weight that gives the jacket its distinctive shape.
The selvedge marking — “Beaulieu by Story Fabrics of London in Guaranteed Fast Colours” — confirms its period origin and colourfast dye process.
Unused lengths of this textile are now considered desirable collectible examples of British mid‑century design.
Dry clean only to preserve the colour, structure, and integrity of this mid‑century textile.
• Avoid machine washing, soaking, or hand‑washing, as vintage furnishing cottons can shrink or distort
• Store on a good quality hanger to maintain the jacket’s shape
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to protect the vintage dyes
Because the jacket is made from a 1950s–70s furnishing cotton, gentle professional care will help maintain its condition and collectible value.
