I’ve owned this for some years and love it, but have never quite been able to work it out date wise! I shall leave it for someone else to work out - some real Arts and Crafts details, but also has a traditional folk clothing look. I’d say it’s 1970s at latest, but could be earlier.

I think I wore it on a handful of occasions as a duster coat over jumpers, as it’s a good layering item. Three button fastening with loops, and kimono cut means it’s fairly free sized. 

Majority hand stitching as far as I can tell.
Meaures
Measured kimono style it is 54” across the slightly curved (but only just!) top edge
48” chest flat when fastened 
21” between arm seams at back
16” along top of sleeve and 18” opening
Nape to hem 42”

 

Condition: 

Some age/very old storage lines to centre of sleeves and corner of bottom hem, have carefully handwashed cool a few times and did improve gradually - may continue to lift. Always too scared to do anything aggressive to it cleaning wise! I happily wore as is, it’s not glaringly obvious. 

Missing blanket stitch at sleeve hems and around neckline, but majority intact. Please see photos.

A little notable age fade too to the blue embellishment at neckline, but it’s even.

Replacement vintage buttons, as originals were missing when I got it and it just had the old thread loops. (I kept meaning to swap for something natural like wooden ones but never got around to it.)
