Trekking Jumper

April 10, 2021 By In Women's Clothes, Women's Dresses No Comments

Available from Fall 1987 through Summer 1988 in Dark Khaki, Ivory, and Faded Blue . “With character as variable as the weather (or your travel plans), our Trekking Jumper is made of lightweight canvas Expedition Cloth that spurns wrinkles and welcomes a change of seasons. Wear it over a flannel shirt for clams at the beach, atop a trutleneck for oysters at the Ritz. The dropped waist and softly gathered skirt are comfortable and flattering at journey’s beginning and end, whether you’ve trekked the Himalayas or toured Bavarian desserts.”
