1970s | European | Sheepskin Coat - S

Description:

Item: Heavyweight 1970s European sheepskin coat in deep brown suede with a full natural fleece interior. Double-breasted construction with large period buttons, a dramatic oversized shawl collar fully faced in dark shearling, and a short belted waist detail at the front. Cut with broad shoulders and a strong, structured body, finished with exposed fleece at the cuffs and hem. The panelled suede construction shows rich tonal variation across the body, typical of genuine mid-century sheepskin.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / European

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The suede remains supple and soft with attractive, even patina throughout, showing natural wear consistent with age. No dryness or structural issues present. The sheepskin lining is dense, plush, and intact, retaining excellent warmth and body. Minor surface marks are purely cosmetic and add to the coat’s character rather than detract.

Provenance Note:
This is a true European 1970s sheepskin coat, made as serious winter outerwear rather than a fashion-driven piece. Constructed from full skins with substantial weight and insulation, coats like this were designed to endure harsh winters and long-term use. The mellowed suede, deep fleece, and settled drape reflect decades of honest wear, giving the piece a depth and authenticity that modern reproductions simply cannot match.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
