1970s | Sheepskin Coat | Dark Brown - 8

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s sheepskin coat in a longer three-quarter length cut, with a broad shawl-style shearling collar, button-front fastening and angled front pockets. Nicely shaped through the body with a gently fitted line rather than an oversized cut, giving it that strong dressed winter silhouette associated with the period. A substantial outerwear piece with real presence.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Good vintage condition with surface wear and age-related character consistent with use. Presents well overall from the front, with a rich worn-in look that suits the piece.

Provenance Note:
This is a strong example of 1970s cold-weather outerwear, where practicality and glamour met in the same garment. The broad collar, longer length and shaped cut give it that unmistakable period look, while the sheepskin construction keeps it rooted in genuine winter utility rather than passing fashion. Pieces like this still hold their appeal because they offer both warmth and silhouette, with the sort of presence only a proper vintage coat can bring.

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.
