Norma Kamali OMO Parachute Jacket Khaki Green Color Block Rare Vintage 80s HTF

About the Item

Preowned, vintage Norma Kamali parachute jacket, likely made in the early 80s. Made from Khaki green parachute fabric with a color block pattern of tan, it features vertical silken cords throughout, allowing one to scrunch, gather and adjust the length and looks on sections of the coat body, collar and sleeves (see all of our photos, where we show several different looks). Lightweight and easy to wear, the it fastens with a chunky zipper and is unlined. Perfect for stowing in an overnight bag or suitcase when traveling - it's chic, unusual and can be styled and worn in so many ways! Norma Kamali has been designing for nearly five decades and has created several iconic looks throughout her career, The idea for the "parachute" collection was born after Victor Hugo (Halston's partner and window dresser), gave her the parachute fabric that eventually became the inspiration for dresses, jackets, coats and even jumpsuits! Tagged NORMA KAMALI OMO. No content label; feels like it's possibly silk (much softer than any nylon we've ever felt). Dry clean recommended. No size tag, fits like a modern M. Approximate measurements: shoulders - 16in, bust - 38in, waist - 30in, hips - 39in, shoulder to hem (without cinching) - 42in; sleeves (without cinching) - 24in. Preowned/vintage (40+ years old) with minimal signs of age, use and prior wear: some of the vertical cords have been knotted several times over by a previous owner. These can be unknotted but we'll leave that to the new owner.

  • 90s Karl Lagerfeld Jacket Black Lambskin Leather Fred Hayman Beverly Hills
    By Karl Lagerfeld
    Located in Port Saint Lucie, FL
    This incredibly supple black lambskin jacket was designed by Karl Lagerfeld and sold by Fred Hayman Beverly Hills, most likely in the 1990s. Fred Hayman, also known as the 'Godfather of Rodeo Drive' was took over the original Giorgio Beverly Hills in the 60s and launched the Giorgio fragrance in the early 80s. He sold the brand to Avon in the mid 80s and opened the Fred Hayman Beverly Hills boutique in 1987. Made from incredibly soft black lambskin, this jacket features large lapels and slash pockets at each hip. A single logo embossed button fastens at the top, with three hidden under the placket and three at the bottom of each sleeve. Fully-lined. Chic and sophisticated, it's so easy to style and wear for the fall and winter months. Leather clean only. Preowned/vintage with some signs of prior use and wear: we note some light color variation to the leather trim and small black Velcro squares to the back of the lapels to prevent bending; these are hard to notice unless you fold the lapels forward (and can likely be removed if desired). No size tag, but we're estimating this as a size M, based on these measurements, taken flat and doubled where appropriate: shoulders - 18in, bust - 38in, waist - 28in, hips - 38in, shoulder to hem length - 31in, sleeves - 23.5in.
