The original A&F — before the mall, before the moose. This is the outfitter that equipped Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway, and this coat reflects exactly that standard. Roughout suede exterior, genuine shearling interior — hide and wool as one piece, not a lining. Warm in a way nothing synthetic gets close to.
Stand collar with brown ball button loop closure at the neck. Three large marbled cream-and-grey resin buttons down the placket. Two angled slash pockets at the hips. Back yoke seaming with center vent. The construction is unhurried and exact throughout.
Dates to 1955–1972 based on the New York/Chicago label. In excellent condition for its age — natural suede patina, minor dust staining on interior shearling lining, does not affect wear.
