No idea why Crown manufactured only the coat fronts.
Who the hell made the backs? And arms? And collars?
And why????

Found this when I went in search of an answer for your question:

'Crown Coat Front was located at 105 E. 16 St. from 1947 to 1957/58.

A coat front is defined by George E. Linton (The Modern Textile and Apparel Dictionary, Fourth Revised and Enlarged Edition, 1973) as "Trade term for a built-up stiffening or shape-retaining interlining for the fronts of coats, made of stitched layers of haircloth, felt and canvas." '

I like this image. It puts me in mind of all those lovely painted signs on buildings years ago. Without our realising it, it painted the backdrop for so many years. A gentler approach to advertising and quite eco-friendly if you think about it!
