Vintage 1930s French velvet collar wool double-breasted sack coat
The sack coat was created in France in the 1840s . As a simplified version of the swallowtail coat at the time, it is known for its looser design and less fabric cut, and its structure is made of only two pieces of fabric. It gradually evolved into part of the modern three-piece suit, often paired with a waistcoat and trousers in the same fabric, showing a formal but not too fancy style. The material is mainly wool, and there is also a lightweight linen version to suit warm climates; the color range gradually shifts from bright plaids to plain colors such as dark gray and black, reflecting the aesthetic changes in the late 19th century.
This coat has not only become the daily wear of entrepreneurs and professionals, but also spread to workers and farmers due to the development of the garment industry, symbolizing the popularization of clothing and the emphasis on social dignity. Especially towards the end of the 19th century, the coat was cut more closely to the body, foreshadowing the birth of the modern suit.
