Vintage 1940s Mens Wool Coat Navy Blue Overcoat Size M L

This is a 1940s mens wool coat.  This 1940s mens wool coat has high set wide notched lapels, almost like a naval lapel, and padded squared shoulders.  It has a six button double breasted front and a flapped pocket at either side with a 15 1/2” centre kick vent at the back. It is lined in blue satin fabric, quilted at the upper front.  The wool is very thick and tightly woven with a raised herringbone finish.     

Label: None 

Color: Navy blue in a slate tone

Condition:  This 1940s mens wool coat is in excellent condition - no pronounced wear, tear, soiling or odour, only the delineation at the back down the seam, probably from pressing, really minor and looks worse in the photo due to the photo lighting (see photo).  This has been well cared for and stored over the years.  

This is a wonderful 1940s mens wool coat - super quality thick heavy wool, beautifully tailored!
