There were so many companies out there making good RTW back in the day. Without any labels...

    Steven Corn Furs - likely "Lippi" coat - some rather involved questions

    Caryn, does that rule out a family member receiving the coat as part of their inheritance? It doesn't sound like any money would be changing hands.
