The brown coat once had black silk around the edges, but time has made it brown/green/khaki. It is very worn. Fancy, thick lining. These clothes have been worked in!
Why do you think I couldn't sell it? I'd get too attached to it?
Haha! These clothes always come in my size! I'll buy the green ones. I'll keep you in mind dostioffsky. I am a 37 inch chest 29 waist for reference.
Dinerman, I have a very similar silk jacket. It even has the same one button cuff on an open slit. but not as cutaway at the front.
open cuff
buttons held on by a ring
what date would you put on this?
1900s? 1910s? White flannel cutaway coat. I've never seen anything like this before. What context do you suppose it would have been worn in? According to the person I bought it from, it was originally sold in Big Timber, Montana, but there are no tags, so I only have the word of the person who they bought it from to confirm that.
Or maybe go whole-hog with a straw boater and double-round collar?
