This vintage overcoat was made in the years following WWII. This style was popular in the late 1940s in through about the mid 1950s.  It is a double breasted gabardine overcoat, with a mouton collar.  The body is lined in alpaca pile, the sleeves are quilted.  The collar on this one is the nicest I’ve seen, so luxuriously soft.  The shoulders are wide and heavily padded, for that early bold look. There are a few small mothnips on the sleeve, but they’re minor.  The belt is detachable, allowing you to wear it with a full belt, a half belt or no belt at all.
Chest: (pit to pit): 24″ (doubled = 48″)
Shoulder to Shoulder: 21″
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 25″
Length: 53″

It looks like these clear vinyl products started being marketed in 1939. They made Elasti-Glass belts, suspenders, sock garters, neckties, watch straps, wallet inserts, pipe humidors, raincoats, and rain chaps.

Rubins Halifax overcoat

From the days back when Gottingen street used to be the place to go.
Now on eBay!
This vintage overcoat was made of “Algora” fabric and sold by Rubin’s of 65 Gottingen Street, Halifax Nova Scotia.  While marked “Algora” (presumably a mixture of wool, alpaca, and angora), it feels like a pretty straight ahead wool.  The thread color on the top button is different than the other two, but otherwise, the coat is in great shape.

16″ lace up wingtip boots from the 1930s, a brown leather motorcycle jacket from the ’50s or so, Pall Mall cigarettes with a 1949 tax stamp, a made in Japan “Sabre” knife, vintage bandanna, belt and a silver and turquoise ring. Not a lot of brown leather going in motorcycle gear these days.
