1950s Swing coat - oatmeal wool size S-L 6 to 14. Rockabilly pinup babe

Description

1940's style SWING COAT - Top-stitched roll collar and cuffs
can fit 6 to 14

Rockabilly pinup babes don't go out in the winter without their cute swing coat -- and this one is a Classic!

Light gray-taupe brushed wool, flecked like oatmeal. The collar and lapel have three parallel rows of top stitching for add interest and contrast. They curve around to the hem and back, and the stitching follows. The wide cuffs have the same stitching, and roll up, a few inches above the wrist. It has two slash pockets in front, with bound edges in the same wool.

The lining, probably rayon, has faded with time, to a shade of mauve. It has a few water marks on it, but the armholes are clear, clean and intact.

Since this is most likely 100% wool, the moths did find it and nibble a bit. A tiny spot on the shoulder, and on the lower sleeves. All the moth nibbles are shown in the pictures.

This is a totally fun coat with a quintessential cut.

========================================
ABOUT SIZING: I think it’s easier to visualize how something might fit if you compare your own measurements to those of my model. I don't pin anything, so you can see how it really hangs.
ABOUT YOUR FIT: Determine the measurements of something similar to this, for which you like the fit. They should be similar. Or compare your own body measurements to the model’s. Look at how this garment fits (or doesn’t)
ABOUT CONDITION: Assume excellent vintage (no repros), unless I say otherwise. Everything has been checked carefully. Loose seams or hems have been resewn, missing buttons replaced, pulled threads looped inside, and the washables have all been laundered. If dry cleaning is needed, I say so in the listing. And of course smoke-free!!!
