If the mixture of materials - heavy canvas, fuzzy faux-fur interior, leather detailing - did not clue me in, or perhaps the color - an amazing deep yellow ochre - did not clinch it, those toggle closures, made so famous by Bonnie with her work with Coach and still a Coach staple in handbags, are a dead giveaway!
From 1953 through 1977 Bonnie designed clothing for Sills. This tag likely dates to the late 1960's. (Information courtesy of The Vintage Fashion Guild Label Resource.)
Although I kept the first jacket I found for myself, I do plan to offer this one in my shop in the next couple of weeks. It is the perfect "transitional season" coat - not too heavy but warm enough to fend off the March and April chills. It is marked by the retailer as an "extra large" but I have a feeling it is more of a medium to large size. Coat and all details to be listed soon.
I want this!! But would it be a good color on me? I'm not usually a yellow person. Jill
ReplyDeleteThe color is questionable and I think it may be too big for you. I have not even tried it on to figure out what size it is...I'll let you know...
