no pants.

the buttons can be rearranged because at the moment it looks twisted

definitely golden era, probably late 30s. You can see where the lower fastening button was originally attached.

Glad to hear it! To be worn with what? I always have the problem with odd suit jackets of thinking how to wear them, and with what trousers in particular.

 

[DamianM]

especially a pinstripe orphan jacket.
Ill where them with cream color slacks or gray slacks that match maybe the stripes.


Seen that a lot in Apperal Arts

Golden era?

 

[Fastuni]

I think so. Woman's coat. If you can button it the other way, it could serve as a "zootish" men's coat.

Well... that settles it: coat for women. Too bad there are no interior photos. Could be post-Golden era though... the buttons look that way.

Still if a guy fits in the overall size, it may be a good basis for a zoot jacket.
