J.G. Hook built this coat the way coats used to get built — 100% pure wool in a tight brown herringbone, double-breasted front, and an ILGWU union tag sewn into the plum satin lining. Made in the USA when that line on a label still meant a specific kind of garment factory. The silhouette is long and structured, the kind of coat that looks right whether you're walking into a restaurant or out of a train station in November. Details Brand: J.G.

Full-length silhouette, hits below the knee Condition Very Good — The wool is clean and the herringbone pattern reads sharp across the entire coat. Lining is intact with no tears or staining. All buttons present and secure. Minimal signs of wear for a coat of this age — this one was either rarely worn or well maintained.
