1960s–1970s | Embroidered Lightweight Coat | Cobalt Blue - 14

Description:

Item: Original 1960s–1970s lightweight coat in a vivid cobalt blue with ornate embroidered trim throughout the front, hem, cuffs and collar. Open-front style with loop fastening, angled front pockets and an easy straight cut through the body. Lightweight and softly structured, it has that distinctive bohemian boutique feel late-60s into early-70s pieces do so well.

Era: 1960s–1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Presents well with strong colour, decorative detailing intact and light, honest wear in keeping with age. A striking wearable piece with plenty of character left in it.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the kind of piece that gives a rail individuality. The vivid blue ground and ornate embroidery make it instantly eye-catching, while the easy lightweight cut makes it far more wearable than heavier statement outerwear. A strong late-60s into early-70s coat with real visual charm.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
