Vintage MR BLACKWELL CUSTOM Coat,
1950s Black linen silk combo Duster Walking coat
I call this "Mr Blackwell does grunge."
Not at all the high glamour of his usual designs.
Since it has the Custom label, I can imagine a client coming and asking for an everyday coat.
And this is what she got.
Fabric is a medium weight "feels like" a linen / silk blend.
Lining is silk.
Cut straight.
One big button at center waist.
Long sleeves with rolled up and buttoned cuffs.
Fully lined in a fun geometric black and white silk.
Comfy, full and loose.
Excellent condition.
Measures:
No Stretch.
17 shoulders.
Bust 42 inches
Slightly flared from there to a 44 hip
Long 39
.
