Plus, as a rare treat I have a WONDERFUL pair of vintage Scotch Mist overcoats that were formerly the property of Peter Van Heide, the heir to the Gummi bear fortune!

Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Please PM with interest and offers!
1) GORGEOUS Pure Cashmere Overcoat.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Although judging by the Union label in the interior pocket this is a relatively recent overcoat the quality of the cashmere from which it is cut harks back to when cashmere was a seriously luxurious fabric, rather than the rather thin stuff that is so common in mall stores today. It's thick, and luxurious, without being heavy--precisely the qualities that you want in cashmere, and that won it it well-deserved reputation as a luxury fabric.
Just as the cashmere harks back to old-school cashmere fabric so too does the classic cut of this coat; if you didn't know that this was a recent issue this could easily have passed for a garment made anytime since 1940. (This appearance is aided by the wonderfully vintage-inspired interior back label!) The coat is single-breasted with a three button closure, has two front flap pockets, two button cuffs in proper Ivy style, and a single centre vent. It is fully canvassed and fully lined. The two flapped front pockets are lined in sturdy cotton duck; the right-hand pocket features an interior ticket pocket, as is standard on good quality American overcoats.
This was, of course, Union made in the USA, and is in absolutely excellent condition.
