Description
A coat for making an entrance, even if you are only going out for coffee. Brown faux fur, a broad rounded collar and three oversized dark buttons give this vintage swing coat its generous shape. The red satin lining is the surprise: quiet while the coat is fastened, quite another story when you wear it open.
The estimated 1960s silhouette falls away from the body instead of pulling in at the waist. Horizontal panels break up the texture, while the roomy sleeves leave space for a slim layer underneath. There are pockets, too. On our model, the sleeves end above the wrists, making a longer cuff or a pair of gloves part of the outfit.
The swing shape belongs to a broader mid-century fascination with clothes that stood away from the body. Through the 1950s and into the 1960s, designers explored volume beyond the tightly defined waist; swing coats offered their own easy version of that idea. Here, the dense faux-fur texture gives the outline presence, while the smooth red lining adds contrast when the coat opens. A slim dress or trouser underneath lets you enjoy that volume without losing your shape in layers.
Fit and condition
Size M/L, in very good vintage condition. The model pictured wears a modern US size 6; the coat has an easy, loose fit on her. Measurements are available as needed to confirm the coat’s fit, especially across the shoulders and over your preferred layers. Reach out or email us before ordering; we’re happy to help.
How we would wear it
We paired it with a fitted blue jumpsuit and white sunglasses, letting a clean line underneath balance the coat’s volume. For a different mood, try a black turtleneck, narrow trousers and ankle boots. Chocolate brown with a pale pink knit would soften the palette; red gloves would pick up the lining without matching the whole outfit.
For evening, wear it open over a slip dress and carry a small bag. Browse our accessories for the finishing touch, keeping the neckline simple so that collar has room. This listing is for the coat only; the jumpsuit and sunglasses are styling pieces.
