    Hi Guys!
    I've been trying to figure out the approximate date of this coat, and I am just not sure. The pleats on the sleeves and lines along the waist are interesting details. It is wool, and I think it's possible that the buttons were replaced at some point. (It is missing buttons from the sleeves, too). Maybe handmade? What do you think? Thanks, everyone!

    What an interesting coat. Could we also see the lining. I am seeing 1930s but not positive.

    Sure! Here are a few of the lining, including one of what's on the other side of the lining. (The lining is hemmed freely from the outer wool layer of the coat).

    Yup, 30s -- early-mid 1934ish?

    How exciting! Thanks guys! A friend had given this coat to me with a few others last year, and I put it away because it was off season and just got to wear it for the first time this weekend!
