A beautiful & super-stylish vintage 1940s Chesterfield type overcoat, made from herringbone weave Harris Tweed fabric in the gingery brown mixture properly referred to as Crotal. Cut in the classic double-breasted style with sharp peaked lapels, 4 x 2 butterscotch horn effect button fastening with 3 decorative buttons to the cuffs, medium padded shoulders, very fitted waist, 1 breast & 2 flapped lower pockets, & long rear kick vent. Fully lined with taupe rayon twill fabric, with an inside breast pocket; no maker's label present.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
NB Accessories not included - shown with an "Old Fashioned Garments" polo neck which is also available on the website.
Size: Suggested Small Regular, to fit about a 36" 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: 22" (56cm)
Shoulder to shoulder: 19" (48cm)
Shoulder to cuff: 24" (61cm)
Armpit to cuff: 17" (43cm)
Waist: 20 1/2" (52cm)
Back length - base of collar to hem: 43 1/2" (110.5cm)
Condition:
In very good to excellent condition overall, appears seldom worn - there is a barely-visible tiny repair to the left lapel & 2 more to the lower right side (arrowed) - a few small nibbles to the surface nap which the camera couldn't see - scattered marks, small holes & scuffs to the lining, mostly across the shoulder area & at the front hem corners. Has been thoroughly steamed & brushed prior to listing but a slightly musty storage smell remains.
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.
