This below the hip length coat is also called a car coat.

The coat is fully lined with soft black satin.
Open front clutch coat with no zippers or buttons.
Lower hip length.
DESIGNER LABEL: JS Collections - Made in Canada
SIZING: Tagged a vintage size Small. However, based on the measurements below, I'd say this would best fit a modern size XXL to 1X (extra extra large) depending on how you like your fit. If worn by a Small, this would be a very oversized fit.
Please note this coat is shown on my size Medium mannequin and will fall much better on the proper sized body.
