I've always loved the labels in Misty Harbor coats. Sometimes you will find the Irish blessing-like Misty Harbor Wish:
"Health to wear this-
Strength to tear this-
and Wealth to buy a new one"
And you will always find the little tag at the neck, "Wear in Good Health."
The coats are charming, usually tricked out with extra buttons, hidden tabs for keeping the lower button placket shut in a gale, and with interesting pockets inside and out. I've never seen one that wasn't washable.
This one currently available on eBayThey're cute, they're happy, and they wish you good health...what more could a girl want?

Just seeing the kind comment in these coats makes you feel good~
You look simply darling in each of those!
Thank you : )
Bright grass green and a happy slogan are such good ways to deal with the elements!
These are all so cute! Love the green one especially!
I don't know you, but I love your blog! My name is Wendi and I stumbled upon it because I'm currently doing a portfolio for a dress and humanities class at my university, and my project is on the raincoat. I'm wondering if I can have permission to use some of your images of raincoats from the mid 1900s. I saw them on flickr and tried to copy them (I was going to cite them), but it wouldn't let me. I love the photos and they would be so helpful for my project! I didn't know how else to contact you, so a comment seemed the best way. Thanks for any help you can give me!
