Picked this up at a yard sale a few weeks ago - the color just knocked me out! Black curly wool on the collar and cuffs, and the rest of it is this luxurious thick wool that's sort of like a plush bath towel in texture, only heavier. The tag, which I posted in labels, says the coat is 100% virgin wool. I just love that taffeta interior. Rather big for me, I will probably offer it up. Do you think the color will help it sell? Welcome change from black, black, and black I think. ~Tiff~
Oh no, no one likes pink and black - you should just send it off to me for the cost of shipping. ;) That is DIVINE, Tiff. Looks like curly persian lamb on the cuffs to me - simply stunning! What's the size, you think??
WOW, that is a STUNNING coat! I saw a pink, wool, vintage coat with black trim go for $300-ish, a couple months ago, on eBay. I quickly put up a plain pink one and watched it sell for $90-ish, via "Buy It Now," within minutes. Ka-ching, ka-ching. Steph
Wow, very encouraging responses so far. I'm generally a small-medium, and I'd guesstimate that this coat is a medium-large. Will get measurements whenever I get around to listing it. I thought that was called persian on the cuffs and collar, but wasn't sure. I'd date it 1950's, since its sleeves are a little poofy above the cuffs. Thanks guys! ~Tiff~
Yummy coat Tiff! Do you have a closeup of the fabric? Was wondering if it was a boucle or a poodlecloth - either one will generate even more interest in this. Please let us know when you list - I also hear KA-CHING! KA-CHING!
There's a closeup of the fabric, as best as I could get it. Any thoughts? Again, thanks for all the support, guys. I will definately let you know when this gets listed. ~Tiff~
Tiff, that is poodle cloth!! Boucle is good......poodle cloth is better! (at least it used to be as far as sales on ebay went!). Is the collar and cuffs faux fur? I agree with Justine, that they look like persian lamb. Lovely! Sue
WOOHOO pink and black AND poodle cloth!!! You've got a winner tiff!!!!!!! And, the size is an extra plus!!! I think you'll do very well!!! Gorgeous coat! joey
Ah, alas I'm more of an XL girl. But that medium to large is still a good size and shoot, like everyone else said - Pink & Black Poodle Cloth Coat = $$$!! Let us know when you list it, I'd love to watch the bidding war! ;)
