Goodwill Good Buy of the Week

This week, as it just begins to turn chilly in the DMV, we have 3 gorgeous vintage coats. All three are in outstanding condition and up-to-the-minute trendy. Jackie-O styling, swing coats, fur collars, cute buttons…

1. Chocolate brown suede ¾ length coat with fox fur (?) collar. We are pretty sure the collar is fox, although we could not find a tag saying specifically what it is. This coat is as soft as any suede I have ever touched. It is in perfect condition except that the bottom button is missing. However, there is an extra button attached to the sleeve, so it just needs to be sewn on, and the coat is ready to go. This beautiful coat has tags from Montgomery Ward from the 1960’s! I can’t stress enough how gorgeous this coat is in real life. Fabulous!

2. Identical smoke grey suede 3/4 length coat with fox fur collar. This one does not have the tags, but is in identical, flawless condition, and is not missing any buttons. It is fully lined as well. The suede on this coat is also buttery soft. Amazing.

3. The third coat is made of a faux fur fabric. I could not locate a tag anywhere that tells what kind of fur exactly, but it does say it should be cleaned using fur methods. I would guess it is a polyester blend of some kind. It is very warm and soft and is made up of many fine, soft “hairs,” for lack of a better word. (They are not “real” hair. More like fur.) It also has a fur collar that looks like real fox, and precious string-wrapped big buttons. This coat is in flawless condition as well.

Keep warm, look good, save money! Onward and upward!
