A very imposing vintage 1950s overcoat, made in 1952 by 'Montague Burton' from a 'Burton Laird' thick & slightly fleecy wool cloth in a dark charcoal grey with paler strands in the fuzzy nap. It is 6-button double-breasted with broad lapels, has medium-padded shoulders, cuffs with 4 decorative buttons, 2 large, flapped lower patch pockets, & a matching belt with a leather covered buckle. Fully lined with black satiny fabric, with an inside breast pocket. Stylistically the coat is little different to those made 5 years earlier.
NB Accessories not included.
