Rendered in the deepest shade of burgundy and accented by decorative dark brown mink trims, this original 1940's gabardine coat, is the perfect addition to your seasonal wardrobe.
The rounded neckline, is framed by a swooping pointed collar, which is edged along the front with a slim mink fur trim. The elegant shoulder line, is accented by internally sewn shoulder pads and Princess seams, which run along either side of the front of the coat. The full length inset sleeves, are set off by wide turned up cuffs. The fitted bodice of the coat is set off by central statement matching gabardine covered buttons, which draw the eye to the cinched in waistline. Finished with two mock pockets along either side of the hipline, which are decorated with matching buttons and a gently flared hemline, every detail of this piece showcases the timeless and iconic design of the era. This coat is fully lined in matching rayon satin and has an internal wool interfacing for added warmth.
