Vintage Women's Coat

[RustySpurVintage]

Hi, All. As many of you know, women's clothing is not my strong suit. This coat has the NRB union label used from 1938-1964. It has pretty large shoulder pads. It is not pinned back in the photos. Any info anyone could provide would be very helpful. Thanks!

Love this coat!!! It looks 40s to me, very Joan Crawford.

Fabulous coat, it looks like it is from the 1940's to me as well.

Beautiful - and definitely 1940s - those shoulders!

Definitlely desireable 1940's. Looks like it could be silky wool gabardine fabric.

Lovely. It has a lot of the late 1930s elements to it, (38-39) with it being collar less and the silhouette too. But the trims are so simple, almost sparse, and made of self fabric if I am seeing it correctly, I might agree that it is USA war time made, into the 40s as others have said.

Oh I see now, it is does have a collar after all. And the shoulder pads look larger than late 30s pads too, at least they llok that way on your dress form.

Thanks, everyone! I do believe that the wool is a gabardine. It almost has a sheen to it. It is very nice. I'm having it dry cleaned and then will re-photograph and list it. Thanks again!
