Here is an overcoat that once belonged to a milk farmer in northern Sweden. Included is a metal plate with the original owner's name engraved, which he made himself. The plate was removed by me when washing the coat, but could be resown. Condition is excellent. The only fault to note is that the coat has been converted to a single breasted coat by a simple button change. Thus, new buttons will be needed in order to restore the coat to its original condition. In the following picture, the coat is laid as if it were being buttoned double breasted:

Approximate size is a 42-44R

The measurements to follow are taken as if the coat was double breasted:

Pit to pit - 58cm
Shoulders - 46cm (note that this is with no shoulder padding and a snug intended fit)
Sleeve - 65cm
Length - 93cm (under collar to bottom)

Single breasted, I think the chest size would be around 130-140cm.

As you will see in the following pictures, the coat is A-shaped, with plenty of room for a potentially bigger waist.
