Women's paletote

[Drygoods]

Greetings all,

After reading the notice about the paletote in the near forum, and since I must also make myself a new paletote this fall, I thought of this question. Does anyone know if there is any way to find, or see online, the famous matching paletotes worn by Mr. and Mrs. J. Davis? I'd really like to know what kind of fabric they were made of, and also how hers was cut. Many thanks for your time with responding, and also for reading all these great forums.

Mfr,
Judith Peebles

You might contact Beauvoir, in Biloxi MS... they have a good collection of Davis items there, including Mrs. Davis' oiled silk raincoat, and may have information on the paletot.
