Hi! Not sure what to list this question under, so I just chose History because it seemed like it’d give me the most relevant answers! Anyway, I recently got this jacket from an antique shop! I was wondering if anybody could identify what type of jacket it is?

Ex; just a normal suit jacket, a sailor jacket, etc. those sorts of jackets!

Details about it are listed in the photo! (I’m unsure on how to post more than one photo, sorry.)

More details not shown are these; It’s a men’s jacket, and it’s a custom made jacket.

Also, it’s from the company
“the house of worsted tex jackets/coats” — basically ‘Worsted Tex.’

You can’t see the buttons in the photo well, but they’re gold buttons with what looks like a bird/dragon perched on a rod (or it could be a tree branch) with gold stars circling the bird/dragon.

Hey there!

I'm not a total expert on jackets, but I can tell you that Worsted Tex is a line of clothing from the 1940's to 70's, making your jacket quite old! My research tells me that Worsted Tex came from a larger manufacturer called Botany 500, which was centralled around the states of Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Botany 500 was a pretty famous men's suit and sport coat manufacturer, until it went bankrupt in 1973.

Let me know if you need more help :)

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
