Mod Jacket Questions

[inkedpalm]

IT HAS to be said: I'd like to thank everyone here for putting up with my inumerable questions, and I wish I could send everyone of you flowers for all your help. My cheesy little ebay store is doing well, and I'd be a fool if I didn't give alot of that credit to all of you that help me out.
:party:

Just yesterday I came across these awesome coats/jackets below. (actualy there are six, total) I know they are all of the 60's -70's but for the life of me I cannot find descriptive words to use outside of "mod." I feel like a dolt. I know those wonderful collars and belts have names, but my head is numb. I'd appreciate any help with descriptions.

Now to the coats!

Not mod, well, the yellow flirts with mod, but isn't really....

Pastel, fresh, bright, flirty, check, That Girl...off the top of my head

"light jacket" and "finishing touch for your vintage outfit" might be good for the descript

I so dig that check one!

"That Girl" indeed that brings back memories. Descriptions duly noted. Thanks.

Use "trench" in the title. Could you belt a couple of them with just an odd belt to show how they would look?

When you say "odd belt" do you mean like a white leather with maybe some metal???

Double-breasted, back half-belts...

Are they raincoat type material? I have a light blue coat from the same period (also with double rows of buttons, but a Nehru neck instead of lapels), which is water-resistant Celanese Fortrel.

For some reason, these coats make me think of pea jackets, which were the sailor's answer to bad weather...

Carrie,

The all have different types of material, and none have labels telling me a thing about the fabric. I also have a Pink Nehru one that I know is water-resistant fabric.

A couple do have that pea-coat look.

Thank you!

Yes, just an odd belt that wouldn't clash.

Linda,

I'm thinking maybe I should use my Manni (even though she does tilt to the side) and cinch the coats in a bit...might be more presentable that way. They look a tad flat right now.
