Diagonal-Knit Jacket

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her tenure as Supermodel. In 1968, she appeared on the pages of the Sears Spring Through Summer 1968 catalog. She appeared on a spread that featured water-repellent coats and jackets that looked like leather but were less expensive, as well as American-made sportscoats made from imported leather. Shelley wore the Diagonal-Knit Jacket, made from a fine gauge acrylic knit laminated with polyurethane foam. The medium yellow jacket was lined with acetate taffeta. It had a vinyl self-tie belt that tunneled through flaps and buttons that looked like leather. She wore it over a white turtleneck top and white pants ensemble. A white Fedora hat with a chin strap finished her look. And Shelley looked fabulous in both outfits.
