1970s suede ans snakeskin coat Med
Funky full length suede coat with snake trim circa 1970s.
I have always liked the cut of these coats with their defined waist and long A-line skirts. They seem to flatter ever figure.
The suede is sturdy but still soft and hangs nicely. The top is fitted and it has a wide inset waist with snake skin cut outs. The skirt is long with a good flair at the hem. It closes with brass snaps and the sleeves have deep vents which snap closed. There is lots of decorative topstitching which helps define the design lines giving the coat a sharp stylish look. The collar is slightly exaggerated with rounded edges. It is fully lined. There are no pockets, I suppose the designer preferred to keep the look as sleek as possible and pockets can add bulk. I mended one area where the lining pulled apart and it is fine now. There are no tears or stains. The suede does have natural variations in color but this is normal and not a flaw.
The size is medium and it has the following measurements.
Chest 38"
Waist 32"
Hips 40"
Shoulder to shoulder 16"
Length from shoulder to hem 45"
Excellent Condition
