Vintage Early 1920s Brown Wool Velour Coat with Soutache Trim

Raleigh Vintage

We love the slouch styling of these early 20s winter coats.  Heavy weight, dark brown wool velour.  A-line silhouette that fits the body very loosely.  Loose belt.  Two front pockets.  Lovely soutache runs from the pockets, over the shoulders, and down the back.  There's also soutache detailing at the sleeve hem.  Unlined.

DETAILS:
Label:  none
Fabric:  Wool (described as 'wool velour' in catalogs from the period)  
Circa:  Early 1920s
Condition:  Overall very good.  The coat shows light, normal wear and some color variation, especially considering its age.  There's a small spot of schmutz that has been melted or burned onto one sleeve hem (see photo) and some minor moth grazing.  The coat is unlined; we're not sure if there was originally a lining, but it works without one.
