Design
Own Name Pattern 163 is a raglan-sleeved coat with underfaced fronts that roll back into revers with an attached collar. The two-piece raglan sleeves finish with turned-back cuffs, and the coat is fitted with a removable belt and inset pockets set off by welts. Width at the lower edge runs about 1½ yards, and in this size the coat measures 50 inches at center-back from neck to lower edge, including a 1-inch hem. Size 36 takes 3⅛ yards of 54-inch coating and 2⅞ yards of 39-inch lining. The pattern has 10 pieces, cut with one-half pattern provided and the collar, cuffs, and belt made double.
A Moment in Fashion History
By the early 1930s the raglan sleeve had become a practical favorite for coats, setting smoothly into the shoulder without a seam to fight a heavy fabric. Paired here with rolled revers, turned-back cuffs, and a belt to mark the waist, the style balanced ease of movement with a tailored look. This is an Own Name pattern: the New York Pattern Company issued these envelopes without its usual branding, so that a department or dry-goods store could sell them as a house line. This copy comes from that world. Its original glassine envelope survives, stamped Barron Bros. of Texas, the small dry-goods store where the pattern was originally sold. The glassine usually took the brunt of decades of handling damage before the envelope did, so a surviving glassine, even a worn one, is a genuine rarity.
