Free to a Good Home - Wool 3/4 Length coat - Button up Circa 1940

Here is a piece I've struggled with since I picked it up ~ 8 years back. It is too tight for me through the shoulders. I rarely if ever wear longer coats such as this. However it is in wonderful condition. It shows very few signs of use. No scuffs, tears, missing buttons or thread issues at all.

I had it dry cleaned about a year back and it has been in plastic ever since. From smoke and pet free home. Call it a nice, historic Christmas present for just the cost of shipping.

Note the tag inside the pocket -- shows "Made to Measure for W J Wall Jr. Number#72349 and a date of 12-17-40." So it's literally 80 years old! The Union Made Suit tag is also present:


The Store tag - which is the only indication of a brand I could find outside of the P. H. Davis Tailoring Co. States to be Seeley's - Rapid City & Vermillion.

No size tag so here are the basic dimensions:

Shoulders: 19"
Sleeves (straight) 27"
Pit to Pit: 23"
Back Length: 47"

Asking for $20 Pay Pal for shipping only (CONUS)

That is a pretty nice looking overcoat! No odors or any issues at all?

Again, add 1 to your karma stockpile!

Yep - no issues or odors...and was recenlty dry cleaned, those dry cleaning tags are still on it. Been in plastic ever since.

I was looking at this new: https://www.schottnyc.com/products/herringbone-wool-overcoat.htm?color=22&catID=5#&gid=1&pid=1
Yours is similar, eh?

Ok, my friend, I’ll take it. Please me a DM for particulars. Thanks

Pretty different - in fact

We starting a movement here. Good on you too. Going to join the party as well later on. Got some stuff I'd love to see stay in the TFL family rather than random goodwill giveaway. Might not be able to go full blown free, but will be deep discount for sure.

This is a *super* generous offer!

Thanks - this is spoken for!
