Funky 50s Purple Wool Overcoat with Inky Black Faux Fur Shawl Collar

Textured purple and black wool shell, shiny original deep mauve satin lining, inky black and impossibly soft wide faux fur trim, stand up shawl collar, era specific wide 3/4 sleeves, 3 large textured buttons, off center single breast design and 2 generous slit style hip pockets.

This isn't just your everyday dark wool overcoat. I suspect the original wearer of this beauty liked for things to be just a little extra special, a little extra colorful, a little extra all around:)

Union Made in the USA...

A truly classic and authentic piece of American fashion history!
