This vintage overcoat was made in the 1940s by Collegian Clothes for the Matzke Dite Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It bears a 1939 Union tag, which places its date of manufacture between 1939 and 1949. The coat is a brown wool alpaca blend. It has a double breasted front with wide lapels, has button tabs on the sleeves, and a plain vented back. For some inexplicable reason, someone has cut out the botton half of the lining.Chest: 23″Shoulder to Shoulder: 18″Sleeve: 25″

This vintage duffle coat is similar to the Royal Navy second pattern dufflecoat, and dates from the late WWII period, or early postwar period. It is made of heavy camel colored wool, with four toggles. The ropes are stout and the toggles are wood. Military-type buttons on the cuffs. Yoked shoulders. Hood lays flat when not in use, long chinstrap to keep the elements out. No button adjusters in the hood. Cotton reinforcement at waist, half lined.Chest: 26″Shoulder to Shoulder: 20″Sleeve: 24″

Bold Tweed Overcoat

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.
