This overcoat was made in England by Jeffrey Banks from high end Crombie fabric. It is a classic 6×4 double breasted style, a very elegant and vintage look. But what really sets this one apart is the collar. The collar has been trimmed in the most luxurious fur I’ve felt- I can’t tell if it’s sheared mink or sheared beaver. It appears to have been done by a tailor after the coat’s original production, going by the visible lapel buttonholes on the back of the lapels, but it was well done.

This vintage overcoat was made in the 1930s or 1940s. It has a classic double breasted cut, with a belted back. It has flapped patch pockets, and is half lined. But what really sets it apart from the crowd is the fabric. This is the boldest herringbone I’ve seen outside of an Apparel Arts illustration. Unfortunately, the label is long gone. The fabric has multicollored pre-atomic flecks of red, green and white.
