About the Item:

A little Chanel-inspired tailoring, courtesy of Butte Knit. This two-piece suit is made from richly textured forest-green wool, flecked with tiny threads of yellow, rust, and blue that give the fabric wonderful depth. The collarless jacket features three-quarter-length sleeves, gleaming gold-tone buttons, and contrasting rust-brown fringe trim edged in yellow along the neckline, front opening, cuffs, and pockets. Two patch pockets add another classic touch, while the coordinating pencil skirt creates a sleek, streamlined silhouette. The substantial wool gives the suit beautiful structure, making it an especially chic choice for cooler weather. Wear the pieces together for a polished midcentury look, or style the jacket separately with jeans or trousers.

About the Label:

Founded in 1959, Butte Knit was an American womenswear label associated with the Jonathan Logan Corporation, one of the country's leading clothing manufacturers. Based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the company became known for its innovative approach to knitwear manufacturing and helped popularize double-knit fabrics in American fashion. Particularly successful during the 1960s and 1970s, Butte Knit specialized in tailored dresses, coordinated separates, and skirt suits that combined the structure of traditional tailoring with the comfort and practicality of knitwear. Its designs reflected the changing wardrobes of American women, offering polished, versatile clothing for both professional and everyday life.
