DESCRIPTION
This overcoat is of Swedish origin. It bears the “Holzon” label and was sold new at Hildings, a shop in Lysekil in southern Sweden. It was produced sometime during the latter part of the 1940s or possibly the early 1950s. The colour of the cloth is somewhat unusual; we would describe it as petroleum blue.
The overcoat is double-breasted and has two rows of buttons, with the low button stance typical of the period. The design of the front pockets is also characteristic of the period; they are vertical. There are buttoned tabs at the cuffs. At the back, it has a belt, giving it a certain degree of waist definition. Internally, it is fully lined and has one internal pocket on each side.
Overall, the condition is good, but there is some damage to the cloth that should be taken into consideration when considering a purchase. It is located low down on the front of the overcoat, and the damage is clearly documented in the photos. There are also a few minor areas of discolouration near the lapel, which may possibly disappear with further cleaning. Please study the photos and form your own impression of the condition.
