DESCRIPTION
This heavyweight chesterfield coat most likely dates back to the 1910s. Is was made bespoke, but there are no tailor labels so we cannot tell by which tailor this coat was commissioned. There is a metal placket on the inside with the original owners name. This is very typical for Swedish coats from the first decades of the 20th century. The coat is made in a dark blue cloth and has a black velvet collar. It has a four row double breasted closure of which all four rows are used. It has horizontal front pockets with flaps and it has one button hole in each lapel. It has two inner pockets, one on each side. Due to their weight these coats were usually equipped with a metal chain loop in the neck, so is this one, but is has broke. The overall condition is great, the coat is perfectly wearable. But there are some small damages to the cloth that has to be considered. These damages can be spotted if you know where to look, but they don't affect the overall impression on the coat when worn. There is also some wear to some of the button holes. There is also some wear to the lining in the sleeves. Please have a look at the images and evaluate the condition.
