DESCRIPTION
This overcoat is of Swedish origin and was most likely produced sometime in the early 1960s. The brand is Magni, a well-known Swedish ready-to-wear label. It was sold new at Sterns, a shop in Norrköping. The cloth is British, made by Crombie: a dark blue wool cloth with a subtle twill structure. The shade is so dark that it almost borders on black. However, when placed next to something black, it becomes clear that the colour is indeed blue rather than black!
The overcoat is single-breasted and fastens with three buttons. The original buttons are covered in the same cloth as the overcoat itself. It has horizontal front pockets with flaps and a buttonhole in the left lapel. The overcoat also has a breast pocket, which is quite unusual in Swedish overcoats, although it can be found on examples from this particular period. At the back, it is straight-cut and has a single vent. Internally, the overcoat is fully lined and has two different types of internal pocket. The right-hand pocket is a traditional internal pocket with a button fastening, while the left-hand pocket is vertical and has no button.
The condition is excellent, virtually as new. There are no defects to speak of. Please study the photos and form your own impression of the condition.
