A vintage 1950s overcoat, bespoke tailored in 1954 by 'Harold Sims' from a thick & slightly fleecy wool cloth in charcoal grey with a slightly paler fuzzy nap. It is 6-button double-breasted with broad lapels, has quite heavily padded shoulders, notched gauntlet cuffs, 2 slash hand warmer pockets with fleecy lining, topstitched swelled edges & matching belt with leather-covered buckle. Fully lined with dark bronze satiny fabric, with an inside breast pocket.
