Let's talk statistics for a second. If you live in a major city, in a 31 story apartment building and 60% of the tenants are women, how many of those women do you think own a trench? Maybe 25%? 8 apartments per floor, not counting the 13th floor (which doesn't exist), which makes about three dozen women with trenches in this building, give or take a dozen. Now, what percentage of those three dozen do you think own Burberrys? Maybe 30%? How many own one from places like Banana Republic, Brooks Bros or some other place? Maybe 69%? That leaves 1% in any given building that might, just might, own a Bonnie Cashin trench and that, my friend, is a most generous statistic. While most women feel perfectly comfortable being in the majority percentage, we know that you want to be that 1% and we're with you, honey. This is your crack at one percentage - with a fabulous, meticulously detailed Bonnie Cashin polished cotton belted trench. Made in the late 70s for Russell Taylor Weatherware, it has a button out loden hued wool lining with wood-grained butterscotch buttons and sleeve buckles that look like old-fashioned Bakelite. A modified cloak over the bodice and deep pockets, that will hold a rolled up N.Y. Times, on a beautifully simple coat you just know Cashin had to have a hand in. Matching sash belt does not go through loops so you can wear it unbelted and not look like you lost the original belt - 'cause you didn't. Sized for a modern 12, the shoulder span is 17.5", 23.5" outer sleeve and 46" total length. Flawless condition. sold |
