Vintage 1960s Men's Wool Cashmere Overcoat Robert Bruce Charcoal Grey Canada

This is a vintage men's charcoal grey wool and cashmere overcoat by Robert Bruce, dating to the late 1960s. Made in Canada, the coat is tailored from substantial-weight imported wool and cashmere cloth, with a smooth, finely brushed surface and a classic, understated appearance.

The coat has a straight, generously proportioned silhouette with structured shoulders, a traditional notched lapel collar and a single-breasted front fastening with three dark buttons. The lapels are moderately narrow, giving the coat a clean, tailored appearance characteristic of the period.

Two horizontal flap pockets are positioned at hip level. The long, straight sleeves have small decorative buttons at the cuffs, while the back is simply tailored with a centre seam and a long centre vent for ease of movement.

The charcoal grey fabric has a subtle heathered appearance and a dense, substantial feel. This is a heavier-weight overcoat, designed to provide warmth during cold Canadian winters. The interior is half-lined in smooth black satin-finish fabric.

The original woven label reads Robert Bruce – Imported Wool with Cashmere – Coachman Cloth, with the wording repeated in French. The coat also retains a Canadian Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA) union label, of the type used between 1962 and 1976, supporting a late 1960s date.
