Hi,
Got myself a vintage aquascutum coat. I’m trying to figure the history behind it and how old it is.

Reversible, mustard/olive.

Only one label inside the pocket, with R10. Picture below.

Would totally appreciate your help☺️

Hi there, I think your coat dates to the latter portion of the 50s. I think it’s a men’s coat, although, it’s hard to tell because it’s reversible and buttons on both sides of the coat. They were making women’s wear at the time too and the shapes were similar.
Here’s a photo of a newspaper ad from 1957 that showed a similar men’s reversible coat.
Below these images I’m going to share a link to our label resource where you can learn a little more about the history of Aquascrutum too. We don’t have a matching label but this would not have been visible unless looking inside the pocket and it looked different than the labels that were not hidden.
