1960’s Vintage Eastex cream 100% mohair coat with optional belt tie.
The coat which falls just above the knee is without fastenings.
The original belt can be tied around the waist or draped around the collar as seen in the photos.
PLEASE NOTE: There are no belt loops to hold the belt. Any good tailor can add these if so required.
Details include real pockets on the hips.
A bit of history….
This coat was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (size 40 / 41)
A series of related ‘fashion shoot’ style posts have appeared on the Marshmallowvintage Instagram. This coat has been featured.
There is no size label. In my opinion the fit is a relaxed M / L or UK 12 / 14
