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.

This store is about as good as it gets when it comes to second-hand, quality, and well known products. I can't speak as much on the women's section, but the men's had a very wide range of styles and brands. From amazing Ralph Lauren denim to classy vintage coats this place has the works. Not only is it a gem for its wares, but the owner of the place is just wonderful. She is nice and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, and maybe even something you didn't even know you needed. My pickups from my first time included a navy Air Force Peacoat, a cashmere v-neck sweater and a pair of that amazing Ralph Lauren denim that I mentioned. I would highly recommend this store to anyone if you are looking for higher end quality and rarity for a fair price. I know that I will definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.

I helped out the Free People's Boutique by Quirk by sorting racks and registering shoppers on a Saturday. It was a humbling experience. I was asked to pass on so much gratitude to Melynda and her team by every guest I had the pleasure to assist.

Quirk is WONDERFUL! Small but mighty, always new and exciting finds, plus the real deal when it comes to fashion and expression. Owned by a stylist/awesome fashionista, with a passion and drive that offers the best experience in vintage shopping. I got the most gorgeous silk blouse...and some shoes that fit me like Cinderella! If you live in Los Angeles, you know how hard it is to find awesome vintage at a reasonable price. From the fight over Dior at a thrift store, to the snobby and over priced 'bo-ho' Buffalo Exchange, to the trendy and overly pretentious places on Melrose-it's just another face in the crowd, on the scene. It's more comfortable and personable at Quirk. You get the deals, yeah-but the experience is worth more!

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you've inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing. The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don't see twice. What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She's genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there's pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional. This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

This is such a fabulous find! A true gem tucked away in DTLA!! I went looking for vintage men’s items to match a watch I was gifted, and Melynda helped me pick out the most beautiful suit. She’s amazing too - she has the most fun and quirky style, but also donates clothes to victims of the wildfires. She gave me a tour of “The People’s Free Boutique” and it’s laid out to make those who have lost everything feel like they are really shopping for high-end items rather than getting things for free. I will be back to support Quirk Vintage again!!
