Light Gray Wool Tweed Double-Breasted Overcoat

Edwardian · 1900s-1910s · British

A knee-length double-breasted overcoat in light gray wool tweed with brown velvet collar trim. The coat features a structured silhouette with wide peaked lapels, two rows of buttons creating the characteristic double-breasted closure, and appears to have flap pockets at the hips. The brown velvet collar provides textural contrast against the nubby tweed fabric. The coat's proportions reflect Edwardian masculine tailoring with its fitted waist and flared skirt, designed to be worn over a full suit. The substantial weight of the tweed and formal construction indicate this was a quality garment for middle to upper-class gentlemen's outdoor wear during the early 1900s.
