HUNTER GREEN, beautiful men's jacket, softly tailored as only Bill Blass can do. Is it Collegiate Ivy League? Traditional, conservative or casual chic? Few agree but it's a classic nevertheless.

Throughout the 50s & '60s, Bill Blass designed wildly popular women's sportswear, evening wear & accessories. But it was his menswear lines of the 60s - 80s that placed him & kept him solidly in the limelight.
