1990s | Leather Car Coat | Black – XXXL

Description:

Item:
Original 1990s black leather car coat with classic button front and notched lapel collar. Features angled hand pockets and a clean, minimal front typical of late-20th-century leather car coats. The leather has a soft, broken-in feel with a natural sheen and visible grain. The cut is relaxed with the slightly longer body typical of car coats, allowing it to layer comfortably while maintaining a clean tailored silhouette.

Era:
1990s

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Leather remains supple with natural creasing and light wear that adds character without affecting wearability. Lining remains intact and the jacket presents very well overall.

Provenance Note:
By the 1990s the leather car coat had become a staple of everyday outerwear, blending classic tailoring with practical durability. The style traces its roots to earlier motoring jackets but evolved into a versatile casual coat through the late twentieth century. Pieces like this are particularly appealing for their clean silhouette and soft, wearable leather that develops character over time.

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.
