DESCRIPTION
This overcoat is of Swedish origin and was produced by Widengrens, a well-known Swedish clothing manufacturer. The label is Clubman, one of Widengrens’ brands aimed at the whole family. The size of this particular overcoat gives some indication of this – it is a small size, and the label is marked “Junior”. It is made from a substantial wool cloth in a deep, dark navy-blue shade.
The overcoat is double-breasted and has three rows of buttons, all of which are functional. It has horizontal front pockets with substantial flaps and a buttonhole in each lapel. At the back, it is straight-cut and has a single vent. Internally, the overcoat is fully lined and has two internal pockets, one on each side.
The condition of the overcoat is close to perfect, and we have not found any defects worth mentioning. Please study the photos and form your own impression of the condition.
