Nice looking coat, mid-fogey.

Here's another one of mine. The white thing on the lapel is a curling button I put on.
Nice heavy wool. Pebbled buttons. Belted back with a deep pleat to the vent, which buttons up.
1965 issue- East German?

Suddenly every girl I know is buying a spotted cat coat! Very nice fernande.


Thanks!
I just love animal prints, and I can't wait to receive my new treasure.
my husband HATES "animal print" anything- I think he thinks they are a little "ab fab" or something.

But most gals I know, especially vintage lovin' gals, can't get enough of leopard print/ zebra printa, spots, etc

My newest overcoats

My first piece of vintage couture, circa 1960's. I got it a couple months ago, but it needed some repair work, and I decided to NOT go to the first alteration person in town after she told me I should "Just throw away all those old clothes" and made a face. :eusa_doh:

It looks handmade, very well hand made at that.

I got this free..!! Was a left over at a GS.

pierre cardin does the name mean anything?

Pierre Cardin is a great designer. His clothes arn't the greatest quality, however, very good for the price. I have several of his shirts, pants and ties.

He actually designed a lot of stuff from lamps to coffee machines.

Another fast fact: he designed the beatles collarless suits in the '60s.

Great find for free.

I hope everyone else is getting as much use out of their overcoats as I am today. It is Freezing in NYC!

Today I pulled out my Korean War era overcoat. It weighs about 10 lbs but is worth the effort to wear.

Now this one isn't mine of course...

..but it is the one that Tom Hanks wore as Mike Sullivan in 'Road To Perdition'. Available on eBay as we speak!

Vintage Rainfair raincoat with removable wool lining. It's in perfect shape with a great glenplaid pattern. It even has a throat latch. Paid $10 for it at thrift:

It is probably late '80s or early '90s, but very nice nonetheless.
