Hello!
As always, I have some questions! I have a couple of 1940s suits (one 1930s I think) and two coats that I need help with. Will post the suits under that forum though.
Can anyone tell me the approx. date of these coats?

The first looks like it's gray and black but a close-up shows tan in there too. Also the lining is satin top and black, gray & red wool on the bottom, with a metal Talon zipper going all the way around. I was thinking that because of the horn buttons (I think that's what they are called) that this was a 1950s. The collar has two buttons, connected by a twine type thread, so you can have a button on each side of the collar AND you can close it in any direction you want.

Also, what do you call these cuffs?? French? Surgeon's?

The buttons:

** I had too many photos on this one listing with both coats, so I'll start another to show the second coat...

It looks early 50's to me..
Bomd was making clotes in Rochester from 1933 to 1979 so you've got a nice CNY Collectible there.....

Do you know the actual size on that coat....?

Size of overcoat...

Hey Nulty,
ACTUAL size you want? Well.... I can tell you this.....
The coat is quite large! The chest measures 54" across, pit to pit and it's
45.5" long. The sleeves are 35" from the bottom of the neck in back, to the
sleeve end.
So does that make it a size 50 Long? I know that my son, the one wearing
it, wears from a Medium to a Large only because he has wide shoulders and
this looks ok on him.... so honestly.... I'm not sure of the size, only of the
measurements!

Buttons, cuffs?

I almost forgot..... what is the proper term for those buttons?
Horn? I don't think antler or bone, or are they none of the above?
Also, any idea of the 'proper' name for those cuffs?
Thanks!
