You can just tell by looking at this one that it's the tactile version of a campfire in autumn, marshmallows not included. Bonnie Cashin didn't just make clothing, she created moods. A smashing orange canvas coat, lined in supercozy synthetic fleece. Worn open, this is a great walking coat in November but the ultimate winter coat when the hatches are fully battened. With a great removable hood that detaches by turning the same turnlock closures you find along the placket, they leave a decorative trim of exposed hardware when the hood is left at home. Inseam pockets are deep enough to eliminate the need for carrying a purse. Gasp! No purse?!?! Do you think you would just wither and die if you actually carried things in your pockets? You won't. A purse should not be mandatory and Bonnie always knew it. Same way Claire McCardell gave a woman her independence by never putting a zipper on the back of her dresses, Cashin always builds in the storage. A secret giant coin purse in orange leather in the interior of the coat for the really precious things like wallet and iPhone. Made for Sills, this coat is substantial but supple so you won't come off like a snowman when you wear it. Yeah, you can actually move your arms. Trimmed in orange leather, the bust measures up to 39", shoulder to shoulder 16", outer sleeve 22.5" and total length 47". Excellent condition. $735.00 |
