This 1950s corduroy swing coat is truly a beauty! Made of soft rust corduroy. Three covered buttons at the top. Cuffed wrists. Large kangaroo pockets.

Measurements:
Bust: 42 inches
Waist: 50 inches

Condition: This coat is in overall good wearable vintage condition. I have it marked low because it’s unlined with some raw seams and a few spots that are barely noticeable. It’s just a lot more worn than most of what is found in Dalena Vintage. Definitely doesn’t detract, in fact, I believe the wear adds to this and gives it a chore jacket kind of look.
