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 12–14 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 12–14
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.
