Super Groovy Late 1970s to Early 1980s Disco Era Beige Linen-Look Blazer & Pants / Trousers Made in U.S.A. by JOHNNY CARSON. Yes, the great American talk show host had his own line of clothing! Nice heavy sleek linen-look shell with vertical woven lines. The jacket is partially lined in a shiny beige nylon taffeta material. The jacket also features a double vented back for superior ease of movement. There is a two button front with large horn-look plastic buttons and there are three smaller matching buttons on each cuff. The jacket has two interior pockets and three exterior pockets. The front open patch style pockets have cool center pleated detail. The pants have a flat front with no or cuffs with slightly flared hems. There is extra hem fabric to lengthen them if needed. A Groovy Disco Era Suit!
