This classic coat was made in the 1950's and is a timeless design.
Made from slightly coarse wool in light brown it features broad shoulders and a nipped in waist, a beautifully seamed collar, is double breasted and is labelled Burlacade.
The wool is a little itchy, in my opinion, so if you have any sensitivity to wool then this piece isn't going to be for you.

Condition
Good with some points to note;
- it has a perfume smell - I have aired the coat for a couple of weeks and the smell is much less now than when I got it, however, it is still there so might benefit from being aired more of dry cleaned
- there is some wear to the pile of the wool around the sleeve ends
- main issue is the lining is in poor condition. It has wear, mends and pulls. The main body isn't too bad but the sleeves have suffered a lot.
