40s Amazing Red Mexican Embroidered Tourist Jacket

Looking for a fabulous 40's Mexican souvenir or tourist jacket? This is a piece from my very own collection. A true work of art rich with folk history. Lightweight red wool jacket heavily appliqued, embroidered and embellished with sequins. Wonderful array of colors in orange, green, yellow, blue, fuchsia pink, brown, turquoise, gray, red, white and black. Features sweet puffed shoulders, handmade shoulder pads, side pockets and no closure style front. This is in fabulous vintage condition for its age. There is some missing cross stitching to some edges, which is a fairly easy repair. A small spot on collar near one of the horseshoes (as seen in pic) and a few other very small spots, the collar spot being the most notable. There are no holes or tears, simply mild wear from use. Colors are vibrant and the jacket shape is just adorable. More shape to this then most mexican jackets I've seen.

Scenes include:
BACK- man wearing sombrero w/3D hat cord, spurs. The woman has 3D braids, floral and heart motif dress, bracelets etc.
FRONT SIDE A- man picking cactus fruit/blossoms wearing sandals.
FRONT SIDE B- woman carrying basket or jug on head with man beside her, both wearing sandals.
SLEEVES- each sleeve has a man wearing blanket, hat and sandals napping against a cactus.
COLLAR- Back neck has a little house/casa and front collar sides feature horseshoes.

MEASURES
BUST-34" (gently closed)
SHOULDER-15"
LENGTH-28 1/2" (from back neck seam)

VERY GOOD!
