2. Long, heavy Swedish army coat - $50 shipped
There are no labels, but it does have original buttons and insignia. The buttons show three crowns and crossed swords. This coat, while just as heavy as the first, is made from a much smoother and luxurious wool. There are a few tiny moth nips and a 3" tear in the liner, but other than that this coat is in great shape.

Measurements:

Shoulders: 19 inches
Chest: 22 inches
Sleeve from shoulder: 25.5 inches
Length from Bottom of Collar: 51.5
Vent length: 28 inches
