A really beautiful vintage 1940s Chesterfield type overcoat, made from firm but soft-handle wool fabric in darkest grey or near-black with tiny pale strands in the nap. Cut in the classic double-breasted style with broad peaked lapels, 6 x 2 button fastening with 3 decorative buttons to the cuffs, quite heavily padded shoulders, fitted waist, 1 breast & 2 flapped lower pockets, & long rear kick vent. Fully lined with lustrous black satiny fabric, with inside breast & ticket pockets; no maker's label present.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
NB Accessories not included.
Size: Suggested Small Long, to fit about a 36"/38" chest depending on whether a suit jacket is worn beneath.
Photographed on a 38" mannequin.
All measurements are external, taken with the garment laid flat, to be doubled where appropriate for circumference (with approx. metric equivalent):
Chest - armpit to armpit: 21 1/2" (54.5cm)

Condition:
In absolutely excellent condition overall, appears seldom worn with virtually no signs of use - the buttons have been moved about 2" to accommodate a larger person & there are faint marks where the buttons originally were. Has been thoroughly steamed & brushed prior to listing.
I have a no returns policy - please check the above measurements and compare to a similar garment of your own before buying - no refund offered for items that don’t fit.
