1930s 40s dark blue wool coat with a massive standup fur collar

Description

Wonderful 1930s 40s dark blue wool coat with a huge brown fox fur standup collar and Deco tailoring. Great wool fabric covered buttons with hand stitching around the edges. The construction is like a waterfall along the sides with curved inserts, see photos. Two buttons at the waist and one at the neckline. Can wear buttoned up to the neckline or open. Lined with a silky rayon crepe.

label: National Recovery Board label

condition: excellent for age. This coat looks and feels like it was barely worn. Fabric is crisp, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear. Checked for any issues like stains, holes and loose seams. Fur looks good for age, but obviously wear with care as this is almost 100 years old. On close inspection, in certain lights, there is slight color variation to the wool toward the hem, the blue is more purplish. The inside lining also has some variation, but besides these issues, this coat is amazing for it’s age.
