My favorite Zuckerman coat from my collection. This coat is a lovely gaberdine wool in a dark steel grey. It is double breasted with fantastic buttons and two patch pockets. It features seams down both sides that seem to nip the wearer in. It is a very heavy, warm coat.

This coat was sold at Milgrim, which was a specialty store opened in the 1920's. There were numerous Milgrims across Eastern America. Milgrims was noted  for using celebrities in their advertising, long before this became common practice. The last Milgrim store closed in 1990.
