A vintage 1950s 'Burton breakwater raincoat' or trench coat made from silicone proofed gabardine fabric in a taupe colour. Cut in a classic double-breasted style, it has padded shoulders, cuff tabs, slash pockets, kick vent, & matching belt with plastic buckle. Fully lined with iridescent coppery-green satin fabric; there is a zip attachment for a removable lining which is no longer present.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
