Classic Chesterfield Topcoat
MADE IN ENGLAND
MADE IN ENGLAND
This is absolutely beautiful! Cut from the traditional cloth for Chesterfields--charcoal herringbone with very soft blended boning--this beautiful coat is half-canvassed and fully lined. While the cloth is the traditional pattern and colour for a Chesterfield, it does come with a slight twist--rather than being milled from the coarser wool of adult sheep the cloth of this coat is made from lambswool, and was milled by Abraham Moon, Ltd., established in 1837 in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Long before the passion for "heritage" brands, Moon, a solid, successful non-nonsense Yorkshire company--was making military gabardines, heathery tweeds, and robust flannel for its conservative and well-heeled clientele. More about Moon can be read here:

This wonderful coat also features the traditional velvet collar, and two front pockets; these are both lined with thick cotton duck--and it's a tribute to how little worn (if at all) this coat was that neither of the pockets have any markings from use inside. The cat also has two interior pockets, traditional three-button cuffs, and a center vent. It has a concealed placket, and was, of course, Made in England.
This coat is in excellent condition.
Asking a very low $145, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS, or offer. [SIZE=4]As always, offers are very welcome![/SIZE]
