An extraordinary testament to mid-century Scottish textile artistry, this striking vintage black mohair jacket is a rare, archival treasure sourced for our curated collection.

Woven in Scotland by the heritage mill Glenshiel by Anderson Innes & Co Ltd, this piece dates back to the early 1970s and offers a beautiful, sustainable alternative to modern evening wear.

The garment is crafted from a luxurious blend of 45% mohair and 55% pure new wool, featuring an exceptional high-pile loft. The wispy, tactile fibres are entirely unmatted and full, catching the ambient light with a deep obsidian shimmer.

Designed with an elegant open front and no fastenings, this cropped jacket or evening bolero features black acetate lining, two small welted pockets and mid-century, bracelet-length sleeves that taper slightly before dropping into a beautiful, intentional flare at the cuff—expertly tailored to showcase statement jewellery or watches.

Condition & Transparency

At Mabel Green Studio, we prioritise quality, longevity, and material integrity. This piece is in near-mint vintage condition and appears virtually unworn.

Structurally defined by a continuous band of plush, midnight-black velvet binding along the rounded club collar, front placket, curved hem, and sleeve edges, it stands out for its quiet confidence and thoughtful construction.
