Source and provenance

The participant reported a family memory that the jacket was bought at the J. Reichenbach store around 1926 for his grandfather’s wedding, and that he later used it himself as a coat.

Custody history

Reported to remain with the contributor; not held by the Reichenbach Family Archive.
