1940s Scarf collar winter coat - Medium Large Autumn The sleevesA spectacular 1940s winter coat in high quality black wool, from Morris B Sachs label. Lined in rayon crepe, its an unfitted cut and absolutely classic silhouette BUT with gorgeous unusual seaming detail to front and back yoke that really sets this piece apart from the rest. What a triumph of patterncutting! Fastening at the neck with a single covered button, and lower down with silk covered popstud, the neck is finished with soft grey astrakhan
