I am new to the board and need help dating an Yves Saint Laurent rive gauche jacket ...or could it be called a swing coat? I have done research online and cannot find anything really comparable to it. Any help would be most appreciated. I am getting ready to list it on ebay.

It looks like a kimono jacket to me. It looks like there should be a belt. It's lovely. I would probably list it as YSL rive gauche jacket. I've never seen anything like it, either. Where did you find it?
 
That is smart! I agree that this probably had a belt to it, but it works
well without one too.

It does have a "swingy" look to it, but I would also use "kimono" as a
keyword.

Kimono! Thanks so much, that completely slipped my mind. I bought this at a church sale in Bryn Mawr, PA about 5 years ago. I don't remember buying it with a belt but it does make sense that it probably originally came with one. It seems like half the dresses and coats I see are missing their original belts.
