Hello!
As always, I have some questions! I have a couple of 1940s suits (one 1930s I think) and two coats that I need help with. Will post the suits under that forum though.
Can anyone tell me the approx. date of these coats?
The first looks like it's gray and black but a close-up shows tan in there too. Also the lining is satin top and black, gray & red wool on the bottom, with a metal Talon zipper going all the way around. I was thinking that because of the horn buttons (I think that's what they are called) that this was a 1950s. The collar has two buttons, connected by a twine type thread, so you can have a button on each side of the collar AND you can close it in any direction you want.
Also, what do you call these cuffs?? French? Surgeon's?
The lining:
The buttons:
-the ones on the collar (same size as the cuffs)
Tha tag:
** I had too many photos on this one listing with both coats, so I'll start another to show the second coat...
