Black wool 40s overcoat, beautifully made with elegant era features. Single breasted fit with five matching covered shank buttons to fasten. Huge pointed collar to the neck. Strong padded shoulders with a loose fitted, slightly ballooning sleeve with fitted turn up cuffs. Waist is fitted and the midi length skirt is softly flared and finished with really neat sewn in hip feature pockets. The skirt is sewn in panels of slightly different textured/toned black giving it a soft angular striped/blocked design, it's subtle, but a really lovely attention to pattern and detail. Lovely quality virgin wool by Juilliard, soft and heavy and has held the texture and shape so perfectly. Lined internally in a silky jacquard patterned rayon. This is backed with an additional layer of soft wool, so this coat is perfect for winter weather. It just stunning!
