1960s Bonnie Cashin Brown and Slate Boucle Coat

unique to bonnie Bonnie Cashin's fabrics for Sills are as wonderful as her cut and construction. Regularly travelling to foreign textile houses, Bonnie commissioned the best weavers and dyers to custom craft her unique tweeds and boucles. So while you may find duplicate fabrics in the collections of two vastly different designers, you will only find a Cashin textile in a garment that has a Cashin label. A luxuriously tactile chunky wool boucle plaid in cinnamon brown, slate grey, dark taupe and ivory trimmed very dark browny grey leather. The wonderful belt closes at different intervals with signature brass turnlock closures and is independent of the coat so you can wear this belted, as shown, or as a straight line from shoulder to hem. Stand-up band collar and hidden snaps behind the placket, there are deep demilune pockets at both hips, lined in silk crepe. Bust measures up to 44", shoulder to shoulder 15.5", outer sleeve 23" and length 40". Excellent condition. sold
