1943 Coat 108 cm (42.5") bust

A 1943 winter coat in two contrasting fabrics with large patch pockets. The coat is drawn in around the waist with a matching fabric belt, but it can also be worn without for a more A-line shape. This coat and its simple collar reflect the square lines and practicalities of 40s dressing, and is ideal for 40s re-enactors or it could be styled with a different collar to add an individual touch.
