1940s MEN'S SHORT COAT
available
Winter short coat, made in the 1940s, Latvia
Thick, heavyweight, coarse homespun wool in natural shades of two-tone brown, featuring a vertical herringbone stripe pattern. The coat is lined with cotton and has a very thick, warm insulating interlayer
The coat is heavy worn, with areas of more pronounced wear and thinning, particularly around the pockets and sleeves. Overall, however, it remains well preserved and is still wearable
A heavily insulated winter coat with strongly padded shoulders, a double-breasted front and wide notched lapels, this garment is a striking example of 1940s fashion and the harsh everyday rural living conditions of the period
