Mid 1930s half-zip, half double breasted mackinaw coat, 42

I've been searching for one of these for years and finally tracked one down. These are incredibly rare, only made by several makers for a period of about five years. This one was made by Congress Sportswear in about 1935, with a grommet zipper front and bell shaped zip hood. Really a holy grail type of piece.

Chest (pit to pit): 24" (doubled = 48")
Shoulder to shoulder: 18"
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 24"
Length (Base of collar to hem): 36-1/2"
