1970s Cardin-esque Couture Cream Wool Double-Breasted Coat

About the Item

Unmarked, but possibly attributed to Pierre Cardin, this double-breasted coat features the space age detailing the Italian-French couturier was known for. Classically A-line tailored from cream wool with a bold tonal running stitch which edges the wide, notched lapels of the collar. The gold and silver-toned buttons are ornamental and the coat closes with large, covered popper fastenings. There are three smaller gold and silver buttons at each sleeve. The detachable silver-tone chain belt adds a playful, futuristic detail typical of late 1960s design and composed of three chains secured with a round polished buckle. There are in-seam slit pockets at the front and a vent at the rear hem. Lined in a fine quality rayon, this elegant coat is in fine vintage condition with virtually no signs of wear noted and no faults. A superb example of high-end space age fashion of the era and will fit sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6 best.

  • 1960s Jeff Banks Clobber Black Velvet Hooded Coat
    By Jeff Banks
    Located in London, GB
    This late 1960s black velvet hooded Clobber coat has a real autumnal, almost witchy feel. It features a high neck with button and loop fastening running all the way down the front, with each button embossed with a etched floral repeat pattern. The velvet itself is a very fine chenille, which has a lovely luminosity to it despite being charcoal black in colour. Though the main body of the jacket is unlined the hood is lined with soft black silky fabric, making it lovely and comfortable to wear. The coat flares out slightly at the waist, creating a classic Victorian, almost gothic style silhouette. This coat is in excellent vintage condition, with no flaws or marks to note. It is shown here on our size 6-8 model and would best fit up to a 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US. The influential designer was a pivotal member of the swinging 60s London fashion scene when he cofounded 'Clobber' in Blackheath Village, London, in 1964. The boutique carried both his own designs and the work of other designers and attracted celebrities such as Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and some of the Beatles. It proved such a success that in 1969, he launched his own fashion label, opening the first standalone Jeff Banks...
