2 Tapestry Coats

[aiseirigh]

Hello everyone

Hope you're all having a nice start to fall! I love the chill that is slowly setting in! Perfect Coat weather soon! Which brings me to my quandary.

I recent picked up two tapestry coats. Both from different sources.

The first one I am fairly positive is mid to late 60s.

The second I am almost sure is also 60s but something about it seems a little off and I keep wondering if it is older.

OK so details.

Coat 1 - Shorter length (mid-thigh), heavy yellow gold Tapestry Fabric with black faux fur sleeve rimming, breasts, collar, and hem, metal toggle turn clasp front button closures, black satin feel lining (most likely synthetic) - I believe this one is mid to late 1960s

Coat 2 - Below the Knee Princess Cut finer weave Tapestry, attached scarf/muff (you can use the ends of the scarf as a muff, I have never seen this before, I find it really interesting and any additional information on this style will be greatly appreciated) Fur lined hem, and scarf/muff ends (I very seldom buy fur so I have no clue what type it is but this fur feels more real, I wouldn't rule out that it is faux though), Button front closures with cotton covered medium sized snaps, lined in what also feels synthetic.

Neither have tags or any union markings or fabric contents.

If any one knows more about their eras, possible fabrications, and that muff/scarf hybrid I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Cat

Both look '60s in style, although either could be a more modern reproduction: I can't tell without close ups or construction details, sorry, but I think it's unlikely. They're probably '60s. The fur looks faux to me.

Thank you

I think you are right. The muff is interesting. Know anything about that?

Def not reproductions, wish I shot details of the hardware and closures, but I forgot to lol :(

Oh good!

I've seen those muff/scarf things before but have no info, sorry.

I have never seen them. They are neat but confused me when I first noticed them.

I agree with later 60s for both coats. The gold one is gorgeous, and that attached muff on the second is too cool...

Great coats, both of them! I agree the first one is late 60s (very post-Dr. Zhivago Russian Princess look, but shorter), but the second could be, I think, very early 70s. I had one very much like it in high school, though not with the cool scarf thingy, but I can't quite remember when. That would have been my junior and/or senior year, because I remember wearing it my freshman year in college. So, we're talking around 1971 or so.
