I believe those are Morty Seinfeld’s executive raincoats.

Didn’t Christo do something like this to the Reichstaag in Germany?

I thought of going to Møntergade 17, but it seems the original building was demolished, or at least that Troelstrup is not there anymore. The 1936 was also a parting gesture, according to

http://www.troelstrup.com/en-GB/Troelstrup/Heritage/1936.aspx

The new store is in fact, on Vester Voldgade 5.

Will go there one of these days to check it out.

I bet those were nice, quality coats too. There was craftsmanship back then…

I suspect that it's where the Hotel Fox is now in Copenhagen, on the corner of Vester Voldgade and Sankt Peders Stræde (Google maps link) ...

I guess that wasn’t in Burlington after all.

With a new coat of paint, I bet it could look brand new.

I hate these displays, the size you want is always on the fifth floor just out of reach of the window.

Are you sure that’s not just post-War insulation?
