Is this a bathrobe or a coat?

    Hello. This is so similar to coats I’ve found from the 50s and 60s, but this one is made out of bath towel/robe material so that I’m not sure if it’s a coat even if the huge buttons have me thinking yes. Opinions? Thank you!

    I would vote for beach coverup.
    I think the terrycloth fabric would have been considered too casual for streetwear in that era. I'll be interested to hear what others have to say.

    I agree with Maggie - it's a beach coverup.

    Ohh I hadn’t even thought of that. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks!
