German Winter Parka & A Sheepskin Vest

Here are two items I found in a shed this autumn, a winter parka and a sheepskin vest.

The parka is reversible, white on one side and mouse grey on the other side. It is in quite good condition, it has wear from use and I was lucky to find it when I did because some mice had begun nibbling on a very small patch of it. All buttons and drawstrings are present. I will make a nice torso set-up with this one.

The vest has pushbuttons sewn around its edges so it had doubled as a liner for a jacket or coat. This type of vest was often used by drivers and officers. I found this on top of a cabinet and it is in very good condition but showing a little wear and use.
