This was purchased from the original owners estate. she lived in Mills River, North Carolina and was a talented seamstress in her local community, sewing her own clothes from a very early age. I believe she made this raincoat in the 40s from a 30s pattern.
All garments have been cleaned prior to arriving at your doorstep. We use biodegradable detergent and other methods of cleaning that are gentle on vintage and the earth. For garments that can stand water submersion, we recommend hand washing. If you have questions about how to launder a piece from our shop, please reach out.
Ensuring proper fit
Measurements for each garment are taken while it is lying flat. We provide an estimated modern size equivalent, however the best way to ensure proper fit is to measure either yourself or a similar garment in your wardrobe. Please reach out if you have questions on how to compare either measurements to ours.
