Frej and I went thrifting this Friday and I got this amazing 40s coat! I have been looking for a good, long and WARM winter coat for years without success! It was 150 kr and Frej found it first but he couldn’t close the buttons all the way up so I got it instead! It’s a tiny bit too big on me but that’s good because then I can fit in more warm clothes underneat it. It also closes all the way down with hidden buttons on the inside so that your legs stay warm too. Haven’t been this pleased with a purchase in a long time!!

It’s beautiful! I love the collar and buttons. It reminds me of a pair of wool sailor pants that I used to have… I miss them actually, although having to undo 13 buttons five to ten times a day was rather taxing. Hopefully your pretty coat is much easier on you :)
Looovely :)
Så fin. Och perfekt längd också!
Coralene: haha I don’t even like wearing zipper pants for that reason. skirts are better! the coat is still fairly enjoyable in that department… i do have patience when i have to! used to lace up knee high undergrounds every day for years!
Maria: thanks! i am so in love with it, i stroked it once & felt like a weirdo
Ida: jaaa, precis vad jag behövde. nu ska jag sluta frysa om benen på vintrarna. strumpbyxor i all ära men det blir faktiskt ganska kallt med kjol på vintern och byxor är inte i min smak direkt.
Great coat! You’re lucky!
