Vintage 60s Mens Overcoat Crombie Sabelere Scottish Wool Coat Size M L

This is a vintage 60s mens overcoat made under the Crombie Sabelere brand name by Freedman of Montreal Canada.  Freedman was founded in 1906 by Lyon Cohen and went on to become one of Montreal’s largest clothing manufacturers - Friedman was the maiden name of his wife.  As an aside, Lyon Cohen’s grandson was poet Leonard Cohen, who briefly worked at the company during the 1950s.  The overcoat is made of fine quality wool in a charcoal grey colour.  It has high set notched lapels and does up with three buttons at the front.  There is a flapped pocket at either side and the sleeves have a buttoned tab at each cuff.  It has a 15” kick vent at the back and the overcoat is half lined in a black satin acetate fabric.

Chest: 50” around, taken under the arms
