I'm having a hard time dating this mohair coat because the styling is so classic. I originally thought it was from the 70s but because it doesn't have any fabric or care tags, now I'm thinking it's from earlier. It fastens with large snaps, and has a fabric belt and front hip pockets. It's fully lined. The only tag is from a family-run store in Connecticut (Nora Zandre). Based on the research I've done, the store has been around since at least the 1960s. Let me know your thoughts!

Lovely coat! While I agree the fabric is a very 1960s coat fabric, it has s bit more of a very early 1970s style to me. I am not sure.

It looks a great deal like a Bonnie Cashin coat I had a long long time ago. Mine was circa 1970 - 1971.
 
What a lovely coat. I feel it is early 1970's too. Perhaps the long sleeves and length makes me feel that way.

I can only add that I most frequently find those chiffon covered snaps in 60's garments for some reason, and for me it's a sign of a higher quality item.
 
Such a pretty coat. Could be early 70s but with all combined; the fabric, belted wrap style, large slant patch pockets, and wide wing collar I am thinking more mid 70s.
