Dark Brown Wool Riding Habit Ensemble

1970s · 1970s · American

This ensemble features a dark brown wool jacket with a fitted silhouette that extends to hip length with a slightly flared peplum. The jacket has a structured collar, front button closure, and long sleeves with contrasting white cuffs. The accompanying skirt is full-length in cream-colored wool with a high waistline and A-line silhouette that falls to the ankles. The contrast between the dark fitted bodice and light flowing skirt creates a dramatic vertical line. The white collar and cuffs provide crisp detailing against the rich brown wool. The construction shows precise tailoring typical of 1970s American ready-to-wear, with clean lines and minimal ornamentation that emphasizes the interplay of color and proportion.
