I found this Overcoat at a thrift shop today. I'm curious if any of you have a clue on the age? It doesn't have any labels in it at all [huh]
Thank you ;)

Here is a picture of the lining

And here is one of the back


The buttons seems to be made of some sort of plastic.

My guess is late 40s 50s, european. This gives it a more vintage older style, whereas in America you would not likely see this cut and style in this fabric or erra.

But mind you, European styles can vary a lot, throw in the fact that eastern european styles did not change much at all for 50 years and you have a real mystery. but I would definitely wear it with a vintage outfit.

Between which years is that period of 50 years? My thoughts when I saw it at first was 40's, but what you mean is that it might be both older and newer, because Europe didn't have distinct eras of style?

Relatively modern - the style of the inner pocket is not 50 years old. Could well be Eastern European.
