Item Tag: Germany

This beautiful reversible hooded parka jacket dates from the 1950’s. One side is green cotton, and the other is natural sheep wool. Both sides have 2 side pockets. The pockets on the green side have zippers. There is also a small zippered pocket on the left arm. The closure is a front zipper, and a tie for the hood. Being from the 50’s when the use of tags giving the manufacturer’s name, garment care, and size was not obligatory, none of these tags were attached. The only identification is the Bavarian Coat of Arms patch on the left arm of the cotton side, with the city name Bayern (Germany). This item is in very good condition even though it is over 60 years old. Here are the main issues (last 3 pictures): 1. The right pocket on the cotton side has been resewn inside. This is not visible from the outside. 2. The left pocket on the cotton side is missing the zipper pull. This could easily be replaced because the zipper itself is in perfect condition.3. There is a slightly discolored spot on the back of the cotton side where it appears to have been spot cleaned (see 3rd last picture).4. There is a light brownish stain on the back of the wool side (see 2nd last picture).5. Part of the seam on the left cuff of the cotton side is unstitched, an easy repair (see last picture). Otherwise, there are no rips, holes, or snags. It has always been in a chemical, fragrance, smoke, and pet-free environment. As noted above, there is no size tag. Since it is worn over clothing, it can accommodate various people of various sizes, probably between XS-S-M. The style is actually unisex, so teenagers of either sex would also look well in it.
