Eldridge/Harry Rothman polo coat

7038 Views 17 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  FromNYtoYou
I picked up a camel hair polo coat today with a tag (below) which reads:
Eldridge
distributed by
Harry Rothman
Fifth Avenue
Hand Tailored

It feels canvased to me. Anybody know anything about either Eldridge or Harry Rothman?



I'll post pics of the coat later when I have a little more time.

It looks very similar to the vintage coat that kitonbrioni has posted pics of (the one on the far right, sorry for stealing your pic kb):



The Eldridge I have is quarter lined as well; the pockets are very similar as are the turned back sleeve cuffs.

There's only one button hole on the lapel on my Eldridge, but it actually is functional as there's a button high on the right side that it can be attached to. It also has a lapel buttonhole flower catch on the underside of the lapel beneath the buttonhole, a feature I've only seen elsewhere on Oxxford.
Thanks, Mark. Very encouraging news.
I note also from another pic that kitonbrioni posted of his vintage polo coat that it was made (apparently) by a Baker Clothes:

This is on the interior tag of mine:

(AlanC's coat)


Perhaps my Eldridge is a rebranded Baker? All very tantalizing.

That group of three is owned by kitonbrioni--he's the market cornerer! I was posting it to compare the Eldridge to his Baker on the far right of the picture.
Can you find an RN or WPL number somewhere in a lining pocket?
No, other than the inside pocket label I posted above, there's nothing but a union tag in the other interior pocket.

Thanks for the pic.
