Vintage 1950s Swing Coat Checked Grey Wool w Flecks Ladies L

This is a wonderful grey, almost black, vintage 1950s swing coat featuring raised woven white checking with red, green, red and yellow “flecks” or lines.  This vintage 1950s swing coat has a small rounded collar, small pads in the shoulders, inset sleeves, four buttons at the upper front and a large patch pocket at either side. The back of the coat is constructed so that it has a “flair”, like a swing coat , more noticeable at the back (note hemline measurement below).  It is fully lined in a light grey coloured acetate.  The wool is in a lightweight - this is more of a fall coat than a winter coat, unless your climate is moderate.  The coat dates to the early 1950s  

Label: No maker’s label, but definitely manufactured.
