Who was Bickler?! And thoughts about the date of this fab coat???

[Impey]

Fallen in love with this fab lime green lilac and cream coat. Metal buttons with a vaguely Celtic design and the most gorgeous internal breast pocket design with pleated edge which I’ve never seen before!

I’d love to know - does anyone know anything about Bickler?

And thoughts about likely age (I can’t remember when Woolmark trademark came in!)

Finally, is this pattern houndstooth?

many thanks

Jane

I can see why you love it! The Woolmark was first used in 1964:

I did a very very quick search for Bickler Made in England label and found a 1960s coat for sale that looks nothing like yours and a 1960s shift dress both hae the same label as your coat.

To my eye, your coat looks C. 1960s but it's pretty long for mid-late 60s and at the earliest it's from 1964.

The colors of that tweed remind me of Easter eggs. Love!

Very pretty - I agree, 60s .

Another vote for 60s
