The final layer
A jacket or coat can bring the whole look together and give your outfit the right vintage-inspired finish.






Are you dreaming of the perfect jacket for your vintage outfits? This beautiful swing jacket from The House of Foxy is inspired by an original late 1940s model and is one of the brand's absolute signature designs.
The elegant A-line silhouette drapes beautifully from the shoulders and provides plenty of movement, while the characteristic pointed collar – taken directly from an original 1940s jacket – adds an authentic vintage look. The slightly padded shoulders with shoulder pads and wide cuffs on the sleeves emphasize the classic silhouette, which elegantly transitions from the tailored look of the 1940s to the softer lines of the early 1950s.
The large pockets with decorative flaps and buttons give the jacket both functionality and an exclusive vintage touch. It is fully lined with smooth satin-woven lining, making it comfortable to wear and allowing it to glide easily over your outfit.
The beautiful red color is easy to combine with wide-leg trousers, pencil skirts, and feminine dresses.
The jacket is made in England as part of The House of Foxy's exclusive Goodwood Collection, produced in limited quantities with a focus on authentic cuts and a quality that comes as close to original vintage jackets as possible.
Size guide:
The jacket has a loose and generous fit, true to 1940s swing jackets. It is designed to be worn over shirts, knitwear, and light blazers without feeling heavy. We recommend choosing your normal size. If you prefer a more fitted look, most people can choose the smaller size if they are between two sizes.

Are you unsure about size, body shape or how to style your vintage-inspired jacket or coat? Here we have gathered the most important answers about fit, silhouette and vintage-inspired coats and jackets, so you can more easily find the style that suits you best.
A vintage-inspired jacket is a newly produced jacket with cuts and details inspired by historical fashion. At Mondo Kaos, many of our jackets reference especially the 1940s and 1950s, with defined waists, structured shoulders, swing cuts and cropped jacket styles.
No. Our jackets and coats are newly produced and vintage-inspired. This means you get the vintage look combined with modern sizing, materials and comfort.
Jackets in the 1940s were often structured and practical, with defined shoulders, a marked waist and relatively simple details. Tailored wool jackets, cropped jackets and military-inspired cuts were characteristic of the decade.
Coats from the 1950s often had more volume, softer shoulders and a focus on the waist. Swing coats and coats with princess seams were popular because they worked beautifully over full skirts and dresses.
A cropped bolero or tailored jacket works well with most vintage-inspired dresses because it keeps the waist visible. For dresses with a full skirt, a swing coat is also a beautiful choice.
A vintage-inspired blazer should fit well across the shoulders and ideally define the waist. It can be tailored, but it should not feel tight or pull across the buttons.
Yes. Vintage-inspired jackets work really well in a modern wardrobe. Try a tailored blazer with jeans and a T-shirt, or a cropped jacket with high-waisted trousers for a more subtle retro look.
