Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing
This is a 1970s Dunn & Co overcoat that is made of houndstooth tweed. The fabric is woven in tones of black and grey with blue checking. This Dunn & Co overcoat is very natty, made with a straight pointy collar, shoulder epaulettes, a four button closure, button down cuff belts and has a matching belt that cinches the waist. It has a pocket at either side and you can form small lapels by leaving the top button undone (see photos). The coat is fully lined in a grey viscose fabric and has a 19” kick vent.
Label: Dunn & Co. Great Britain. Dunn & Co was founded in 1887 eventually expanding into a chain of 200 retailers with a string of High Street stores offering high quality formal wear, suits and jackets. They closed operations in 1996
Fabric label: Woven in England Countryman Saxony Tweed Pure New Wool
Sizing: There is no size label on this Dunn & Co overcoat - from my experience American sizing on jackets is usually 4” smaller than chest size, so this would be about a size 40 - please rely on the following measurements for fit (compare measurements with a similar coat that you presently own or to your own body measurements, taking the cut of the garment into account):
Shoulders: 18” across from shoulder/sleeve seams
Sleeves: 26” from the shoulder/sleeve seam
Sleeve inseam: 17”
Chest: 44”
Waist: 40”
Overall length: 41”, measured flat at the back from the neck
Condition: This Dunn & Co overcoat is in very clean condition with no stains, odour, wear or tears - this 1970s houndstooth tweed Dunn & Co overcoat looks to have seen very little use and has been well cared for over the years.
This is a well tailored 1970s houndstooth tweed Dunn & Co overcoat - many years of use left in this!
