I recently picked up this gorgeous coat and I'm trying to date it. I found a union label and I'm hoping that will help. Thanks
What a great coat!! The National Coat and Suit Recovery Board label was used from the mid-30s to 1960. https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/national-recovery-board/ Your coat looks late '40s to early '50s to me - Let's see what others think.
oh yeah, 40s/50s. but I also lean towards late 40s. because of the length. 40s cut was just to the knees, I think 50s were little longer. below the knee. also strong shoulders.
