Vintage Wool Blend Tweed Coat One of a Kind Design Ladies 10

This is an almost vintage acrylic and wool blend tweed coat that was designed and made in Canada by a student enrolled in a design program at a Quebec CEGEP, which is a type of technical junior college.  This wool blend tweed coat has a lot of style to it - military style collar and lapels, slightly padded squared shoulders, a six covered button double breasted front that closes with snaps, a banded waistline and a circle cut skirt that falls in drapes.  It has a pocket built into either side.  This wool blend tweed coat is fully lined in a satin fabric and has a below-the-knee length.  

Label: Ecole de Mode Cégep Marie Victorin Design Clodie Comeau.  I checked this designer’s bio and she was enrolled in 2003-2006, so this is borderline vintage.
