Read the piece,
not the name.
With a second-hand Basler coat, start with the composition label: the share of wool, cashmere or other fibre decides warmth and drape more than the name does. Then check the lining at the armholes, the shoulder seams and the buttonholes, and compare flat measurements with a coat that already fits you, since a label size alone is not enough for vintage. Our Cashmere Story explains what good cloth feels like in the hand.
