DESCRIPTION
This overcoat is, by all indications, of American origin – although it could theoretically have been produced in Canada. It was most likely made sometime during the 1950s. There is no manufacturer’s label, but it does have a fabric label from Stroock. The fabric is a chocolate brown and appears to be camel hair.
The coat is single-breasted with three buttons, plus an additional button that allows it to be fastened all the way up to the neck. It features large horizontal patch pockets with flaps, and there is a buttonhole on the left lapel. The back is straight with a single vent. The interior is half-lined in classic North American style and has one inner pocket on each side, along with an extra button sewn inside.
The overall condition is good, but a closer inspection reveals some minor flaws and signs of wear. There are small damages to the fabric, particularly on the collar, right sleeve, and lower hem. The lining also shows some wear around the armholes, though nothing that would warrant a full replacement. Please refer to the photos to form your own opinion of the condition.
