1940s Red & Black Checked Wool Swing Coat – Padded Shoulders, Oversized Collar

A bold 1940s swing coat in a tiny two-tone check of vivid red and black, woven so finely that it reads adds wonderful texture to the coat. The cut is all 1940s: strong padded shoulders, a large pointed collar and a generous A-line that swings out from the shoulder with real movement. It is a graphic, confident coat that still feels refined.

The shoulders are sharply structured, balanced by the easy flare of the body, so it sits well over a suit or dress. Large black buttons run down a clean front, and the coat has set-in sleeves and a bburgundy-toned lining.
