Description:

Item: Original 1970s lightweight black leather coat with an exaggerated wide lapel, double-breasted front and a longer, fluid silhouette typical of the era. Softly structured and easy to wear, it has a straight relaxed cut that gives it real movement without feeling bulky. A strong late-century piece that sits somewhere between a coat and a long jacket.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Leather presents well with a soft handle, attractive natural sheen and light, honest signs of age and wear throughout. It retains a strong overall shape while still having that easy, lived-in character that suits lightweight 1970s leather so well.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the kind of 1970s leather outerwear that stands out because the cut does all the work. The oversized lapels and double-breasted front give it real period presence, while the lightweight construction makes it much easier to wear than heavier leather coats of the same era. A sharp, dramatic piece that still feels practical rather than overdone.

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 pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

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