The vendor says it is 1950s. However, the lining and label look newer to me. No vents also suggests an earlier date. But i am not sure. What do others think?

What do you think of it aesthetically? Looks like something that needs to be tried on before reaching a conclusion.

First thoughts: old maid in a 30s movie. 2nd thought: Miss Marple.

Third thought: cut it up for tea cosies.

It looks newer to me. Mainly the full lining, the material of the lining and the overall color scheme of the jacket doesn't say '50s or earlier to me. Also ventless jackets and suits were available and somewhat common in the '80s and '90s.

I'd be stunned if a British jacket - particularly tweed - of *any* era, wasn't fully lined.

Certainly not 50s. It would have heavy twill liner, then.

Exactly, it was the lining that said later to me. Maybe 1980s? It certainly has the boxy shape that was popular for a period then.
