Original 1943 dated greatcoat.
This piece is heavy, weighing in at over 2kg, and is made from thick wool with a thinner wool lining in the body. It is double breasted and has pockets and will definitely keep you warm!
It would appear that the buttons have been moved at some point as the spacing for them seems a little off and is causing the front to sit unevenly.
Measurements
The label states this piece is a size 8 which will fit a 38" 40" bust and a height of 5ft 3" to 5ft 4".
Shoulders between sleeves 17"
Back length 34.5"
Underarm sleeve length 16.5"
Condition
Very good with one point to note. There is some old moth damage on the left seat area extending to the hip - see photos - some is grazing to the upper nap and there is a cluster of small holes - there is also some moth tracking on the left sleeve. The moth damage is old and was present when the coat was purchased in 2006. The lining is clean and the coat looks little worn.
