Fabulous long, fitted black wool coat from the 1800s. The coat has rayon cord covered buttons down the front, black velvet on the collar, puffs on the top of the sleeves. 1 inch wide flat rayon trim on the front and the back. The back is fuller with a split down the skirt. Lined in black silk satin. The coat is heavy. No pockets
CONDITION: The coat is in very good to excellent condition with minor wear on edges.
The buttons will need to be replaced. The rayon covering is worn off of most of the buttons, some worse than others. The buttons have fabric on the backs of them that you use to sew them to the coat. One button on the back of the coat keeps falling off because that fabric on the back is nearly gone and it's hard to stitch back onto the coat. Another button on the front is sewn on incorrectly because that fabric back is gone, it's sewn on through the frayed rayon from the front.
