DESCRIPTION
This overcoat was bespoke-made at Bojlers Skrädderi in Stockholm in 1952. Bojlers is not a tailoring house we were previously familiar with, despite being based in our home city. This perhaps says something about just how many menswear tailors operated in Stockholm during the mid-20th century.
The coat is made from a mid-grey wool cloth, a typical overcoating fabric of the period.
It is double-breasted with three rows of buttons, two of which are functional. It features horizontal welt pockets, and there is a buttonhole on the left of the peaked lapels. At the back, it has a half-belt and a vent. Internally, it is fully lined and has one inner pocket on each side.
In terms of condition, the overall impression is good. However, closer inspection reveals a number of minor flaws and imperfections. These primarily consist of staining to the lining, though there is also a discreet flaw in the outer cloth. One of the buttonholes shows light wear. Please study the photographs carefully to form your own assessment of the condition.
