DESCRIPTION
This coat is of Swedish origin, manufactured by Rappson sometime during the 1940s. Rappson was a large Swedish producer of men's clothing, easily recognized by its label featuring a large white sighthound. The coat is made from a very heavy brown wool fabric and is double-breasted with three rows of buttons, all of which are fastened. It features vertical front pockets and wide lapels with buttonholes on both sides. The back has a belt and a vent. Inside, it is fully lined, partially with a soft wool fabric. It has two inner pockets, one on each side, both with flaps and button closures.
The coat is fully wearable in its current condition, but there are some fabric damages to note. One of the buttonholes shows some wear. Additionally, the fabric appears slightly worn in certain areas. Please study the pictures and form your own opinion on the condition of the coat.
SIZE
The size corresponds to a modern EU 50 short (US/UK 40S). The coat is relatively short, and the sleeve length also suggests it was made for a slightly shorter person. Please scroll down for the exact measurements.
