1940s 1950s?? Season Skipper Wool Gaberdine Men's Coat.

[EndlessAlley]

Season Skipper, for men and women, was "famous" for their button-in-lining. It was a well made and rather expensive coat, running in the $60 -$70 range back in the 1940s.
I found quite a few ads in the news archives ranging from late 30s to mid 50s. I'm leaning toward 1940s because of the shoulders which are padded and slightly gathered at the shoulder seam. Pockets are not "pass through" but that may be because of the button-in-lining. Sleeve half-belts appear both in the 1940s and 1950s ads. Sleeves are not raglan. There is a lot and size label in side the interior pocket, but no union labels. Would love your thoughts on helping to place this in the 1940s or 1950s. Thank you:sunshine: Please let me know if you need additional images.

Thank you Mary for taking a moment to respond to my thread. I really love wonderful men's vintage pieces, also.

Another vote for '50s - beautiful coat. I love men's vintage too, and there are a lot of stylish men out there who are glad that we'll find it for them.
