1970s | Vestcoat | Hooded Coat | Red - 14

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s Vestcoat hooded coat in vivid red with a contrasting cream inset hood and ribbed inner collar. Button-front design with angled front pockets and a straight, easy outerwear cut that allows for layering. The contrast hood detail gives it a strong late-1960s to 1970s feel and lifts it beyond a standard winter coat.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Vestcoat

Condition:
Good vintage condition. Presents well overall with strong colour and a good shape. There is a mark to the mid front area, and this has been reflected in the price.

Provenance Note:
This is a very appealing 1970s coat with a lot going for it visually. The red outer and contrasting cream hood give it a bold, well-judged look, while the clean shape keeps it practical and easy to wear. A strong period outerwear piece with plenty of charm, offered at a very accessible price because of the mark.

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.
