Such a beautiful neutral, this lightweight coat was precisely tailored in the early 1970s for a private client. It has a scrollwork motif appliqued to the shawl lapel, with saddle-stitched seams, welt waist pockets and matching scrolling details at the wrists. It has a straight silhouette that cinches beautifully with a self tie belt, fully lined in silky nylon.
