This is a very informative article! I read through the comments as well, and they are helpful.
I do have a question myself.
You say the coats are heavy. What would you estimate the weight of a short jacket to be approximately? I think I could tell in person, but I have been looking online a lot lately.
I *love* vintage and have worn it for years. Beautiful, well-made things never go out of style.
Many thanks!
