SOLD: Pre-1920's Mink/Wool coat for man

[TommySalieri]

This fine coat was SOLD.

 

[scotrace]

Very interested.

Can you get some measurements? Especially the shoulder span and chest?

I remember you winning this and my being unhappy to have missed it...

 

[TommySalieri]

Sure thing, Scotrace. I can get you some measurements by the end of the day.

 

[SHARPETOYS]

Scott..."If it fits you must buy it"...

 

[TommySalieri]

Okay. These are approximate measurements. I measured it flat on the floor. The chest measurement is doubled to get the circumfrence.

Shoulders: 30 Inches

Chest: 56 Inches

Length: 66 Inches

I must implore anyone who purchases it to dry clean the coat ASAP. It's really old and it has a strong, musty smell. lol

 

[Zach R.]

It'd fit me with plenty of room to spare. :cheers1:

Too bad I don't have the guts to wear a mink coat.:eusa_doh:

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

56" chest? If that's accurate, it may fit me! And I just may be crazy enough to try it!

 

[scotrace]

30" shoulders? Good grief, that would fit Governor Arnold and Ms. Shriver. That may be just too large for me and DRAT.

 

[TommySalieri]

lol Quite a shame, Scot. I think it would have looked good on you!

It is fit for a large man, that's for sure. But it will fit on a smaller man. It'll just be a little baggy. lol

 

[SHARPETOYS]

I wish at times I didn't live in Florida... Nice coat...

 

[TommySalieri]

Okay. I just looked over my measurements again and I realized that I may have made a mistake.

Shoulders: Approximately 24 Inches. :hamburger

 

[scotrace]

Now we're back in the ballpark. I'm 6' 2" with 20.5 shoulders. Another ten inches would be... a born linebacker. No wait, the whole defensive line!

 

[TommySalieri]

lol lol lol lol

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

So who the heck was this made for? I didn't think there were guys as big as me back in the 1920s. lol

 

[Sefton]

If you live in the Bay Area and wear fur, it would be a good thing to have 25 inch wide shoulders...a little visual incentive for those who might otherwise be tempted to offer more than a verbal critique of your choice in wearing fur,lol ...

 

[TommySalieri]

He must have been a large man, that's for sure. But as I said before, it truly is a treasure. I saw something similiar on the 2002 version of "The Time Machine". It was worn by the actor who played the gentleman driving one of the first steam-powered automobiles.

I do hope that whoever buys it will take very good care of it and wear it with pride.

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

OK, I have the grey Homburg, so if I end up with this beauty I'll need to find a Doble steam car.

And maybe a Zeppelin.

If you find that Zeppelin, I think I know where we can stage the next Lounge get together!lol

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

Well, failing that, if I get it I'll definitely be sportin' it on the Queen Mary this November.

 

[TommySalieri]

El Tony-O, the coat's yours if you still want it, my man.
