Trying to Identify London Fog Women's Long Coat
It doesn't have any lining and I can not find any similar ones and honestly just started getting into vintage pieces.
Any help would be great!!

I did a search on some of the words in your coat's labels (Reeves, 'London Fog,' 'Calibre Cloth,' Baltimore) and found ads with most of the words were in a 1956-1965ish date range; one 1959 ad had all those words. A search for Boyd's and St. Louis brought up a 2012 comment about it: "I use to shop at Boyd's in the 1960s. They sold good quality traditional clothing, with a men's, women's and boy's department in their Clayton store." This seems to indicate that an age guesstimate of 1960 for your coat should be about right.

I agree with Lynne: I'd go with early to mid '60s. Dacron is seen in the '50s up to the '70s but it's only only the early to mid '60s that it's called 'Dacron polyester'. After that it's either one or the other, in my experience.
