1940s Style Opera Coat Black Velvet Old Hollywood Sz L #1228. An elegant 1940s style, midi length velvet opera coat with structured shoulders, raglan sleeves, a shawl collar hat extends around the neck and then down all the way to the hem, no closures, a charcoal satin lining, wide sleeves ruched on the inside seams and side pockets with diagonal outside plackets. The color is jet black, although most of the photos have been lightened to show detail. The coat has the label “J S Collections” and it was quality made in Canada. The measurements (approximate) are. Shoulder to hem 48. Shoulder to shoulder across the back 16. Cuff 2 1/2″ wide and 14″ around. I estimate that the opera coat is approximately equivalent to a modern US size L. However, it seems to fit a range of sizes. It is displayed on my US size 6 model and it seems to fit beautifully except the sleeves need to be shortened a bit. But the measurements show that this is a larger size. The fabric is 100% cotton velvet accorsinf to the label, and I believe the lining is acetate or rayon satin. Probably made in the 1980s when large shoulder pads were in, this opera coat nevertheless has all the elements of a 1940s style coat – shoulder pads, midi length, velvet fabric, simple clean lines, and quality manufacturing. There are no major condition issues with this opera coat. However, this is a 35 year old opera coat and may have minor signs of age related wear. There is no rubbing of the velvet, no fading or variations in color, and no stains that I could find. The coat appears clean and fresh and is ready to wear to any formal event. The classic 1940s style design of this coat makes it a perfect accessory for 1940s Old Hollywood looks. Another amazing, 1940s style opera coat with classic Old Hollywood appeal, only from Antiquarius Antiques. Scroll down to see all the pictures which are part of the description.

Important information on vintage sizing. The sizing of vintage clothing can be very different from modern sizes. An item of clothing manufactured 100 years ago was for body shapes different from our own. Although we quote to the nearest. Equivalent US size, we recommend that you review all the detailed measurements provided closely. Please be aware that vintage clothing is neither new nor perfect. In many cases, vintage clothing has been worn and is no longer new, and that is why it is such a good bargain. Excellent antique or vintage condition rarely means new – do not expect new or perfect as there will almost always be some signs of wear, especially with older items. Sometimes we sell newer vintage items that are new old stock (NOS) so they have never been worn and can be in such excellent condition that there are no signs of wear. But some of the garments we sell are 75 years old or more, and even if they were never worn, the fabric may show signs of wear just from being stored all those years. Please assume that older vintage and antique items may have a little dust and/or a few age spots, unless we have specifically stated that we have recently laundered the item. Nevertheless, vintage is a great way to dress extravagantly without having an extravagant budget. You can often find extraordinary examples of antique, vintage or designer items that are wearable textile art and will make you look like a million bucks!
