Description

A dramatic tan suede leather duster coat by Adler, featuring a longline silhouette, notched collar, covered button front, side pockets, satin lining, and a tonal patchwork yoke across the shoulders and upper back. The upper panels combine warm camel, ochre, and golden-brown suede/leather textures with subtle western and animal-print-inspired patterning, giving the coat a strong 1980s/1990s statement look.

The label reads Authentic Adler Since 1866, with a marked size M. While the exact Adler company history behind this specific label is difficult to verify from available public sources, the branding, cut, long suede duster shape, satin lining, oversized fit, and mixed patchwork leather treatment all point most strongly to the late 1980s into 1990s. Similar Adler Collection and Adler leather/suede jackets are commonly dated by sellers to the 1980s and 1990s. (Etsy)

This piece has the kind of styling range that makes vintage leather outerwear especially desirable: western, bohemian, desert glam, art-school, rock-and-roll, or runway-adjacent depending on what it is paired with. It works beautifully over corduroy trousers and a printed shirt as shown, but could also be styled with denim, a slip dress, boots, a turtleneck, or wide-leg trousers.

Shown on TY, who is 5’10”, 175 lb, and typically wears a modern Medium top / 40R jacket. On TY, the coat fits relaxed through the body with a roomy shoulder and sleeve. Styling pieces shown are not included.

Size & Fit
Tagged vintage size: M
Modern size equivalent: Best estimated as a relaxed men’s Medium/Large or oversized women’s Large/XL.

The vintage tag is not the size we would rely on alone. Based on TY’s measurements and the way the coat fits in the photos, this has a relaxed fit on a modern men’s Medium / 40R frame, with room through the shoulders, sleeves, and body. It can work as a true relaxed Medium, an easy Large, or an intentionally oversized outerwear piece depending on the wearer’s preferred fit.

Condition Notes
Good vintage condition with visible natural wear consistent with suede/leather age and use. Photos show tonal variation, surface nap variation, and patina throughout the suede body and patchwork panels. Lining appears intact in the images. Buttons appear present. No major structural issues are visible from the photos, though suede naturally shows shading and handling marks.

Curation Note
Each Quirk piece is hand selected by our team for quality, construction, styling potential, and point of view.

Size Chart

Vintage sizing varies greatly by brand, country, garment type, and time period. The marked vintage size may not reflect today’s sizing standards. Whenever possible, we provide both the original marked size and our estimated modern US size equivalent. This estimate is based on the item’s era, construction, fabric behavior, relevant size references, and how the piece fits on the model shown. We do not clip, pin, or artificially alter garments when photographing them. The model’s size, measurements, and visible fit are the best guides for understanding modern fit. Please review all photos, fit notes, and product details before purchasing.

Found an absolute gem of a Hawaiian shirt for my rehearsal dinner. Just head upstairs, go back in time, and enjoy yourself. Love this place and Melynda!!

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.

Quirk is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.
