Antique-Gown

Very rare men's coat from the fashion house Schmidt, ca. 1922. address: Tauenzien-Str. No 6. Tauentzienstrasse (in the coat in the old spelling) is a centrally located in the city of Berlin, about 500 meters long shopping street in the districts of Charlottenburg and Schöneberg. Conceived and named in the 1860s and laid out around 1890, it was still a residential street at the time of its creation, but began its evolution into a commercial street with the construction of KaDeWe in 1907. In the 1920s it was one of the most famous shopping streets in Germany. Schmidt had his fashion house in this street.

This coat is a double-breasted coat with a beautiful collar made of otter (?). Inside it is fully lined with fur (probably lamb). Material: gray wool. For the age: very well preserved. Discreet wear marks in the area of the button loops and collar. The lining of the sleeves appears to have been replaced. Finding a garment of this quality and presentation from Berlin is an absolute rarity.
