1950s Women’s Wool A-Line Overcoat with Huge Pockets

Here is your new winter coat! It is light enough to wear on the subway or in a car but made of wool and lined to keep you warm. It is a 1950s A-line, 3/4 dolman sleeved overcoat, roomy enough to dress for cold weather underneath. It is in excellent vintage condition. It has HUGE pockets with buttons, (which I love) and a three-big-button front closure with a small snap at the neckline. The lining is a surprise black and white floral that sets off the gray wool shell perfectly! There are no tags which make me think that someone made it from a pattern, which makes it even more special. I think it would fit a modern size 8 best, but check out the measurements below for better reference. This is a versatile piece of vintage that every closet needs.
