Main details:
  • 100% wool, Lining is 100% Acetate
  • Made in Canada
  • Single breasted, Buttons hidden under placket
  • Fine herringbone (or maybe just the twill weave) in what seems like a Charcoal color
  • Flap pockets on outside, Huge (and I mean MASSIVE) patch pocket inside at about hip level
  • Felt lining under collar
  • Single vented

I see it is a possible match to the "Mason" and "Vernon" top coats on the Brooks Brothers website, but lacking the locker loop on the Chesterfield. Does Acetate = Bemberg? I [obviously] don't have experience with outerwear or these materials!

If anyone is willing to share any knowledge about age, value, etc, I would be very appriceative. Please tell me if I missed some useful details or pictures. Also if I am not posting in the most ideal forum or you have any pointers on a good place to go (AA trad?), please let me know as well!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post!
