1970s | Malbre | Sheepskin Coat | Brown - L

Description:

Item: Original 1970s Malbre sheepskin coat in rich dark brown with a broad shearling shawl collar, double-breasted front and deep turned-back shearling cuffs. Beautifully cut with sweeping panel construction through the body and a strong, substantial feel throughout. Relaxed straight cut with that classic 1970s balance of warmth, weight and presence.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Malbre

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Presents well with rich colour, soft handle and attractive natural variation across the outer finish. Shearling remains thick and warm, with light, honest signs of age and wear that suit the piece well and add character rather than detract. A strong, highly wearable winter coat.

Provenance Note: A proper 1970s sheepskin like this always has presence. The deep brown tone, oversized collar and heavy shearling trim give it that full-bodied period look people want, while the Malbre label adds another nice touch of quality. It is the kind of coat that feels both luxurious and grounded, built for real wear and far better looking than most modern winter outerwear.

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.
