This true vintage beauty from the ’50s or early ’60s was another surprise find.  In textured wool, 3/4 length in a swing design (love that), angled pockets, wing collar and a silky satin black lining.

Label from Marshal Field & Company, Chicago.  The buttons, of plastic or bakelite, are carved to reflect light in such a way that they sparkle as though there were rhinestones!  I’ve never seen buttons like this before (and I’ve seen LOTS of vintage buttons).

Like new. Looks great on! It was stuck in with a lot of other nondescript coats.  You just never know . . . .
