Vintage 40s 50s Stroock Petti Puff Tailored by Rosewin Wool Swing Button Coat

Excellent Vintage Condition Purchased at an estate sale. This beautiful pale pink vintage swing coat is from Martin’s a department store in Sioux City, Iowa, which originally opened in 1880 (See store history I found online below). Has three large clear buttons with gold detail inside. Two large pockets. It’s made with fabric by Stroock. Coat name is Petti Puff. Coat product number on tag is 516317. Stroock was famous in the '30s & '40s for creating exotic fabrics with llama, vicuna, alpaca, cashmere, etc. The coat does not have a size tag or material tag, but it’s obviously wool or fine fabric. Fits like a medium/large, but oversized vintage design. Approximate measurements: Shoulder to shoulder: 17” Pit to pit flat: 22” Length shoulder to hem: 42” “In 1880 Thomas S. Martin opened the T. S. Martin Company, a dry goods store, at 49 Fourth Street in Sioux City. He was joined by George Westcott, and later by his brother, James P. Martin. The business grew quickly – in 1883 the store expanded to 323-325 Fourth Street. The product line expanded as well: carpets, curtains, potions, and oil cloths were listed in addition to general dry goods on ads and receipts, but dry goods remained the mainstay of the business. Catalogues from this period prominently feature an array of clothing selections for men, women, and children. Other products like porcelain and food service items were added as the business grew.”
