A good cashmere coat is a wonderful thing to own. Every time you put it on, you think, this is my cashmere coat, and you feel a little bit better about yourself.
A good cashmere coat usually is priced starting in the high hundreds. Cashmere doesn't just grow on trees. It is a luxury fabric for a reason. You don't purchase one at JunkMart.
This one is a dandy, from the late fifties, early 60's. It is from the famous Kennedy's of New England, who dressed a lot of rich men in the day. It is a classic cut and style, and has beautiful hand stitched detail, something every cashmere coat should have, but doesn't. this one has it round the collar, down the front, on the cuffs,.
The sleeves are cuffed. On the inside left there is a deep slash pocket, and the inside right has a regular inside pocket.
the right hand side exterior pocket has a second pocket inside. The pockets have flaps, also with handstitched detail.
The lining is a satin rayon and in perfect condition. The coat has been tailored by hand, with hand stitching throughout the lining. Beautiful.
It is also in beautiful condition...no holes, signs of wear, mends. it was ery well taken care of, becasue that is what you do when you have a high quality cashmere coat.
