A vintage 1940s ‘Teddy Bear’ coat, made from faux fur fabric in an unusual variegated striped grey. Cut in a loose, boxy style, it has a large collar with rounded tips, 2 slash pockets, quite wide sleeves with padded heads, & fastens with 2 large self-covered buttons. It is fully lined in grey crepe de chine type fabric; there are no makers labels.
