Waist-length fitted jacket
Spencer is a short, close-fitting jacket, typically waist-length, worn by women in the early nineteenth century or as part of military dress uniforms.
The garment supposedly takes its name from an Earl Spencer who set a fashion by wearing a coat with the tails burned off. (Capitalized Spencer is a given name and surname.)
