It’s raining today (Yea! We need it) so I’m posting photographs of a beautiful Mary Lane all-weather coat that has been in my closet. So well-tailored with big sculpted buttons and braid trim on a very practical rain-repellent fabric. Full lining! Bound buttonholes! Mary Lane was a company which made women’s clothing to a high standard for decades.

How could I give it up? Well, ongoing investigations keep on bringing in new clues and one can only keep so many archives so something had to give and I’ve put it on eBay. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
