Men's Wool Blend Bosworth Pinstripe Sack Coat

Our Wool Blend Bosworth Pinstripe Sack Coat has your back for nearly every 19th century situation. Rewind to a bygone era and show off what was then the latest in men's fashion. Don't let the name "sack" fool you into thinking the garment is loose or oversized. Rather, the term was coined from "sacque cut", in reference to the specific way the two-piece back is pieced and tailored together.

This coat features a rounded hem and four black plastic buttons that fasten up the front, ending in high lapels. Although there are no outer pockets, the interior has a breast pocket and hidden "ticket" pocket for concealing small valuables. The body is made of 25% wool, 35% polyester, and 40% acrylic, with a 100% acetate full lining. Dry clean only.

Dressed for an honest day's work managing the printing press in town, our Wool Blend Bosworth Pinstripe Sack Coat gave him enough authority that he never had to get sullied up on the line. Despite the sweltering temperatures from the steam-operated press, he never showed his bare shirtsleeves on the job as occasionally a woman would drop by with a last-minute piece for the daily edition.

In the late 19th century, the frock coat fell out of favor for daywear. On-trend men began wearing the sack coat for business meetings and even less formal, after-hours events. This particular sack coat is nicely fitted and fastens with four buttons, common for the era. There are no outer pockets, but necessities may be stashed in the handy interior breast pocket. There's also a hidden "ticket" pocket for concealing tickets, cash or other small valuables.

Our coats are made with typical American sizing, meaning your chest measurement (in inches) is the size you should choose. To measure your chest: Raise your arms slightly and measure just under your arms. Be sure to cross over the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the chest. If your belly measures larger than your chest, use your belly measurement for coat size.
