Grayish-blue 1930s overcoat I showed several months ago. Finally got to wear it today!

While on a recent roadtrip I stopped at a little junk shop and bought this fantastic overcoat for cheap. Has a '36 or '39 union tag. It weighs probably 10 pounds and the fuzzy fur is a bluish-gray. I can't wait for winter!

Mis-identified as a goth cape.
Occasionally a retail clothing store will remove their name from a garment before selling it to a discounter for fear that their name would be sullied if found available at an extreme discount.avedwards said:I wonder why someone has made the effort to cut out the company's name.

Is it better to wear an overcoat with the suit jacket buttoned or unbuttoned? When I put my greatcoat on, my jacket tends to bunch and twist across the shoulders, unbuttoning at least keeps it flat on my chest. The greatcoat isn't too small, there's plenty of room in the shoulders, chest, and arms, could it be a problem with wearing a '40s overcoat with a modern jacket? I didn't have the problem last winter, as I never wore the greatcoat with a suit, but I most likely will from this winter onwards.
