Dating Grès haute couture coat

Good evening,

I just received a haute couture coat by Madame Grès, dating from the second half of the 1960s. I haven’t been able to pinpoint its exact date yet. By any chance, do you have any archives or references that could help me identify it more precisely?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
pl_vgnt

Thank you for your response. It might be reversible, but the pockets and belt would likely be inconvenient when worn that way. Interestingly, the label is hidden by the collar when the coat is worn inside out.

I wasn't familiar with her making reversible coats but I wondered because I saw them mentioned in a few articles.
