What do you think of this sportcoat?

[Nick Charles]

I want to buy this coat but the person doesnt know much about it.

Thanks for the help

Tricky... if I look at it- it could be '70s- it has the big lapel and patch pockets like '40s-ish but this example is looking very '70s to me. Maybe it's combination of the lapel fullness and height- can't put my finger on it right now.
I'm uncertain but it's just not screaming '40s at me. I've often seen '70s clothing put in the older vintage sections on eBay due to big collars and checks, etc.
Others will surely be able to help.

Heck, even if it is 70's, its still nice looking, and I'd get it. I just bought a suit which I know is not vintage, but I love it because it looks good

Edit: I believe the suit I mentioned may be 70's May have to get these pants altered....

It's late 70's. Looks like a 100% Poly job to me. Those coats are uncomfortable and they can smell like an old ashtray. I'd pass on it Nick. Wait till the real deal comes along cuz, those buttons on it don't say 40's. The whole look says Love Boat.

OK

Thanks everyone and Especially Root, I've been waiting for your opinion since yoiu seem to have the most experience. No offense to anyone else. I'll pass then.

 

[Wild Root]

Thank you nick. Glad to hear my opinion is worth something.

I just saw some more pic's of it- the 'waffle' textured fabric and piped pockets are very '70s style. Polyester guaranteed...

[Wild Root]

Yeah, 100% Poly

The Love Boat? yeah, it is so 1970s I heard Bert Baccarat now:"Come aboard. We're expecting you."
Thanks Root, now I am going to hear it and sing it all day---damn.

Three words Root: Dukes of Hazzard. Remember that theme song?

How could I forget it? The good old boys, never meaning no harm...

Is that the poster from when you were a young Duke's fan or was it just all about Daisy?

Found it on the net. And it's always been about Daisy!
