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.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281033480027

This vintage jacket was made in 1949 by the Gibson Wear Well Company of 164 Washington Street, Boston, MA. It is a four button jacket, single breasted, peak lapel.  Unlike a uniform / workwear jacket, it has no lapel buttonhole, breast pocket, or any pockets at all for that matter.  The buttons are all silvertone, marked “FD”. It has a United Garment Workers of American union tag. It is marked a size 42, but its chest measurement of 44″ puts it more in the territory of a size 40.
Chest: 22″
Sleeve: 25″

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281031648536

This leather jacket was probably made in the 1980s or 1990s, but recalls an earlier 1950s style.  It has a D-pocket, with a smaller cigarette pocket.  It has snaps on the lapels, but not the collar.  Instead of a front belt, it has small adjuster belts in the back, though it does have belt loops. It has zipped sleeves and a yoked back. Relatively lightweight leather, with some staining.
