Collection: Vintage 1940s Coats & Jacket Patterns

Coats reflected a strong, structured silhouette, with broad shoulders and practical details such as deep pockets and hoods. Popular styles included gabardine raincoats, belted and double-breasted coats, capes and sporty jackets. The oversized polo or box coat, along with swagger coats featuring flared backs, combined comfort and elegance. See 1940s Fashion Styles.
