An outstanding vintage 1940s overcoat, made by 'Montague Burton' from a 'Laird' thick & slightly fleecy wool cloth in a Prince of Wales or Glen Check weave in shades of charcoal & dark grey with subtle dark red overchecks running through; in certain light the colour has a slightly brownish cast. It is 6-button double-breasted with broad lapels, has quite heavily padded shoulders, cuffs with 4 decorative buttons, 2 large, flapped lower patch pockets, & a matching belt with a leather covered buckle. Fitted with lovely swirly marbled plastic buttons, & fully lined with near-black satiny fabric, with an inside breast pocket.
