There aren’t many items for men if you’re seeking these accessories, as most of the options available are for women and unisex.

Finding the Right Coats-outerwear for You

There is a stylish garment for anywhere in the universe, and on 1stDibs, finding the right vintage and designer coats and outerwear doesn’t have to feel like a journey to the ends of the earth.

Outerwear includes many types of garments aside from the standard coat. From capes, gilets, jackets and cloaks to raincoats and kimonos, fashion designers have long been preparing us for the elements, and outerwear in general has changed and evolved significantly over time.

A lot of the coat styles in our closets, such as the durable Navy-inspired peacoat, were popularized by soldiers who battled aggressive climes in their regulation field jackets and parkas — indeed, keeping troopers comfortable guided the design of the military surplus garments that have often become buzzy fashion trends. Even today, owing to the likes of Burberry, a luxury fashion house that is among the originators of the trench coat worn by British officers during World War I, the trench remains a timeless style, now available in a range of colors that can be worn throughout the year.

While women in late 1700s England donned an adaptation of a men’s jacket called a spencer — the likeness of which could be spotted in Ralph Lauren’s ready-to-wear collections hundreds of years later — designers hadn’t widely been crafting outerwear specifically for women. Generally, the outerwear of choice for the fashionable, well-heeled lady prior to the 1800s usually consisted of capes, shawls and stoles. By the mid-1800s, women were wearing overcoats with multiple layered collars popularized by men (often called a Garrick coat in England), and as women entered the workforce during the 1920s, hemlines climbed, jewelry was prominent and fashion conventions were broken across the board.

Thankfully, the 20th century’s tradition of challenging the norm continues steadfast in today’s outerwear fashions. Contemporary designers certainly find inspiration in 1960s and 1970s coats by Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent and Bonnie Cashin, but unisex options abound in modern creations that take both function and style into account. Find what inspires you in the full range of vintage and designer coats and outerwear available for sale on 1stDibs.

Questions About 1960 Wool Coat
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    Many people feel that wool coats are worth it. Not only does wool give coats an appealing appearance and luxurious texture, but it also helps regulate body temperature by keeping out the cold without completely limiting airflow. What's more, wool is a durable fabric and is naturally odor-resistant. However, whether or not it’s worth buying a wool coat is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find wool coats and other outerwear on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    A wool blend coat is typically a coat made from a mixture of wool and another material, or other materials. Wool is combined with other materials and as wool is extremely good to keep you warm, a wool blend coat is cheaper and pretty warm. Find a great collection of wool blend coats on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Whether 100% wool coats are worth it is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, many people do prefer wool coats. Not only are they warm in cold weather, but they can also repel light rain or snow. Plus, wool lovers often appreciate the natural feel and beauty of the material. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Explore a wide variety of wool coats and other coats on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    Plaid wool coats are made of Mackinaw cloth, which is a heavy and dense water-repellent woolen cloth, similar to Melton cloth but using a tartan pattern often referred to as "buffalo plaid." On 1stDibs you will find many varieties of plaid wool coats.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a wool coat is high quality, first check the fabric content label. The highest-quality coats will be made primarily of wool, while lower-quality coats will usually blend wool with other less expensive fibers like acrylic. Next, take a close look at the stitching all over the piece. Well-made coats will have even, tight stitching throughout. Finally, examine the buttons or other fasteners. Loose buttons, snaps and zippers that are difficult to operate may indicate a lower-quality coat. Find a range of wool coats on 1stDibs.
