SWEDISH 1910S/1920S BLACK BESPOKE MORNING COAT BY HERM. REINER. SIZE CA EU 46-48 (US/UK36-38)

DESCRIPTION

This morning coat is not dated, but it is of Swedish origin, having been made by the firm Herm. Reiner of Munkfors, a small town in central Sweden. It was most likely tailored sometime during the 1920s, although it may date from slightly earlier. It is made from a densely woven black wool cloth, typical of the period.

The coat fastens with two cloth-covered buttons and features a slightly slanted breast pocket. The left lapel has a buttonhole. The cuffs are finished with three cloth-covered buttons matching those on the front. At the back, the coat has two buttons at the waist and a deep centre vent extending from the waist. The interior is fully lined and fitted with an inside pocket on the right-hand side. On the left is a vertical pocket with its opening running along the edge of the lining, a common feature on this type of garment. The sleeves are lined with a striped wool fabric.

The condition is very good. There is really only one point worth mentioning: one of the buttons on a cuff is damaged. There is also very slight discolouration to the lining around the underarms. Please examine the photographs carefully and form your own assessment of the condition.

SIZE

The coat corresponds approximately to a modern EU 46–48 (UK/US 36–38) based on the chest measurement. Please scroll down for the exact measurements.
