Green Check Tweed Raglan Sleeve Overcoat

Great Depression · 1930s · British

A knee-length men's overcoat in olive green wool tweed with subtle brown check patterning. The coat features distinctive raglan sleeves that extend in one piece from the collar to the underarm, eliminating traditional shoulder seams. The lapels are moderately wide and notched, typical of 1930s tailoring. The coat has a straight, boxy silhouette that hangs loosely from the shoulders, providing practical warmth and ease of movement. Two patch pockets are positioned at hip level. The tweed fabric appears to have a medium weight with a slightly nubby texture characteristic of British woolen mills. The overall construction reflects the practical, understated menswear aesthetic of the late Depression era.
