Beautiful Original Late 1940s Vintage Steel Blue And Yellow Plaid College Swing Coat
This fabulous coat was made in the late 1940s from steel blue wool with a mustard yellow plaid pattern. It was cut in the classic swing coat silhouette of the period with padded shoulders and a loose fit below. The sectioned shoulder yolk further emphasises the lines of the coat and voluminous pleats fall down the back to give the coat gorgeous movement and swish. The rounded collar leads to a single row of five fabric covered buttons that fasten the coat and the seam lines of the shoulder yolk continue down the front in parallel to the buttons. Inside, the coat is lined in bright yellow rayon faille.
Bust: 42”
Shoulders: 15” seam to seam
Length: 36”
The coat is in good condition, however there are a few small holes, some discolouration to the lining and some marks as pictured.
