The Violet-Lined - C. Comberti

Sizing on secondhand garments can vary from modern standards. We recommend checking the measurements against a similar garment you already own before purchasing.

Label size: 54 
EU size: approx. 54

The first thing you feel is the weight. This coat sits heavy and solid the second you lift it off the hanger. It's a black double-breasted overcoat with six buttons down the front, a notch lapel, and slanted flap pockets on both sides. There's a vent at the back that gives it a bit of movement when you walk, and every button on it is original. Open it up and the lining is a deep colour that sits somewhere between navy and purple, quilted through the body, with a c.comberti label stitched inside next to a small button-close pocket. The shell is a heavy 60% wool, 40% polyester blend, the lining is 50% polyester and 50% viscose, and the padding underneath is 100% polyester. You can feel the weight settle on your shoulders the moment you put it on, and it holds real warmth.

Condition 
This one's in excellent condition. The shell is clean with no marks or wear, and every button is original to the coat. The only thing worth flagging is the lining, where some of the top stitching has come away in a couple of spots. It doesn't show once the coat's on and doesn't affect how it wears, but we'd rather you know before it's yours.

Care
Dry clean only. We couldn't get a clear read on the care label, but for a wool blend this heavy, that's the safer route regardless.
