Pit to Pit: 21” across Top of shoulder to hem: 24” Sleeve: 22” Pendleton Woolen Mills, a company founded in 1863, is a family-owned business with a long history of weaving fabrics in the Pacific Northwest. The company has been known for its high-quality wool blankets and clothing for over a century, with weaving mills located in Oregon and Washington. The tag on the coat indicates that it is made of "100% VIRGIN WOOL" and that it is from "PORTLAND, ORE." The use of "100% virgin wool" signifies a high-quality product, as it is wool that has been processed from a sheep for the first time. The inclusion of the "Portland, Oregon" location on the tag is also a historical detail, as Pendleton's headquarters are in Portland. The company has a history of producing both men's and women's apparel, with the first line of women's clothing being introduced in 1949.
