A striking vintage 1940s or early 1950s overcoat, made from a fairly heavy weight cavalry twill wool cloth in a lovely marled sea greeny - blue colour. It is double-breasted with broad lapels, has 6 front buttons & 3 decorative buttons on the cuffs, medium padded shoulders with rear-sloping seams, 2 flapped lower patch pockets, & long rear kick vent. Fully lined with taupe rayon twill fabric, with an inside breast pocket, & fitted with attractive swirly marbled buttons. The only label present is a day of the week cutter tag dated Thursday 18 December, which could be either 1948 or 1952.
