~ Mid To Late 20th Century Leather Greatcoat ~
This greatcoat was can be approximately dated to between 1950 and 1970 by ‘VEB FREIBERGER LEDER BEKLEIDUNG’, a German leather clothing manufacturer.
This is a large dark grey/black leather greatcoat/ trenchcoat with a deep mauve liner and is still rather supple and wearable, would only get better with some care and attention.
All the buckles and fasteners are still in working order.
The makers mark is on the inside of the inner left pocket, the snap fasteners are marked ‘KIN 7’.
~ Dimensions ~
The coat is 40 inches (101 cm) from collar to tail.
The distance between the armpits is 20 inches (50 cm).
The length of the outer sleeve is 24 inches (61 cm).
The coat weighs 3.2 Kg.
~ Condition ~
The coat is a bit stiff as old leather tends to get without movement but nothing that can’t be mended.
There is some rust on some of the snap fasteners.
There is some minor rust on the edges of the belt buckles.
Some discolouration to the leather and the liner.
