The vintage doesn't matter. It's a good fit and hangs well.
It probably does not completely fit the topic, but can someone identify this? Supposedly 20's

A fine coat - I suspect it's quite a bit older than 1958, as that style of double-breasted coat had been around in the 1930s (and perhaps 1940s) but was not around in the 1950s; most coats of the 1950s were single-breasted with 3 buttons (if formal, with inset sleeves, if tweed with raglan sleeves) or were of the heavy double-breasted and belted style which HBK has justifiably called "bullet-resistant".Here's my latest EBay find. it was listed as being from the 1970s but the label suggests pre 1958 (telephone dialling codes changed in 1958 and the company merged with another at that time).
