Rare 1950s House Of Oppenheim Mexican Tourist Jacket Size S/M

Description: This listing is for a Rare 1950s House Of Oppenheim Mexican Tourist Jacket Size S/M. This is an iconic Mexican jacket that was made for the tourists visiting Mexico in the 1940s to the 1960s. This lovely, rare, mint green jacket has appliquéd and embroidered village scenes on the front and sleeves, and the elaborately decorated dancing couple consisting of the China Poblana and the Vaquero. The jacket also has black and white cross stitching down the front, on the bottom, and around the collar, cuffs, and pockets. The most unique thing about this jacket is that it was sold in a store in Juarez, Mexico, called "The House of Oppenheim". Juarez is just across the Rio Grande river from El Paso, Texas. I have only seen two other jackets with labels that identified a specific store. This jacket is in beautiful condition with no holes, stains, or missing threads, and the embroidery and appliqués are 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".
