Description

A bouclé black wool coat from the late 1950s or early 1960s, this heavier-weight ladies’ coat features a large, dark brown mink collar and a matching mink fur turban-style hat! The fit is intended to be a bit boxy, slightly flared from bust to hem. The coat has 2 curved pockets at the hips and straight, bracelet-length sleeves. The shoulder line is slightly rounded, with subtle shoulder padding. 3 big plastic buttons fasten the coat in front. It is fully lined with a layer of rayon satin over an under-lining of coarse-weave black knit wool, like a hidden, inner blanket! This coat should be very warm, especially if you turn up the fur collar and close it around your neck with the small button hidden underneath (see photos). Because of the bouclé-textured outer wool layer and the knit wool 2nd lining layer, this coat is quite heavy! It is in very good condition, with some small tears at the back hem of the satin lining, which have I have done my best to repair. This issue with the lining fabric is now stable, if a bit Frankenstein-looking—it will not be seen when the coat is worn (see close-up photo). Otherwise, the coat looks great, as does the matching mink fur hat (no flaws to note, with hat). The warm winter hat is lined with brown wool jersey, and is designed to sit up high on the head, as shown. The coat should fit approximately a modern size medium, but the hat is relatively small--sitting up higher on the head, the larger your head size is. See measurements for full details.
