1970s Bonnie Cashin Geometric Red Wool Coat

cashin's rich sense of color Bonnie Cashin's coats for Sills and Co. come in every imaginable color and pattern. And the best thing about all of them is that they're uniquely Cashin, with textiles that were exclusively hers. To wear over a baby blue and lilac wool sailor weater and a pink Sonia Rykiel crepe skirt, this geometric weave coat is an upbeat layer. Cherry red, magenta, purple, deep orange and caramel are strong but not bright. Pin a giant Marjan Pejoski crocheted pink skeleton brooch on the lapel and tie the suede shoestring belt in back as a narrow bow, you will find yourself wanting to wear this with lots of diferent things when everyone else is reaching for navy, camel, black, black, black. Trimmed in red suede behind the collar, placket and trimming the edges, the belt holds to the waist with polished brass keepers. Demilune pockets at both hips, the coat is typically unlined with flawless finising on the inside because Bonnie insisted that her coats look amazing from every angle (even the ones nobody could see). Fastens along the placket with a row of brass turnlock closures, the bust measures up to 42", shoulder to shoulder 14.5". outer sleeve 23.5" and length 43". Excellent condition. $490.00
