1990s | Leather Car Coat | Black – XXL

Description:

Item:
Original 1990s black leather car coat in very soft, supple leather with a smooth natural grain. Features a classic button front with three-button closure, pointed collar and clean chest seam detail. The design includes a chest pocket and two angled hand pockets set into the body, giving the coat a simple, tailored look typical of late-20th-century leather car coats. The cut is relaxed with a slightly longer body, allowing it to layer comfortably while maintaining the understated silhouette associated with the style.

Era:
1990s

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Leather remains exceptionally soft with a natural drape and light, honest wear that adds character without detracting from the overall appearance.

Provenance Note:
Leather car coats gained popularity through the late 20th century as practical outerwear that combined the structure of traditional tailoring with the comfort and durability of leather. Softer leather examples like this are particularly desirable, as the material develops a natural drape and character over time while remaining extremely wearable. The clean design and versatile cut make it an easy everyday vintage piece.

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, and bulk.
