60s/70s Plush Chenille Carpet Bag Coat

SKU: 00686-001
Sorry, this item has sold.

This 1960s jacket is a riot of rich, harvest colors and vertical patterns. Lush, plush, textured chenille fabric. Solid black quilted lining. Deep patch pockets. Military style buttons*. Warm and cozy. Union made in the U.S.A.

* The buttons copy those worn by Hessian mercenaries fighting for the British in the American Revolutionary War. They feature a "Teutonic, 3-Footed (actually 2 feet and a tail) Eagle" and the motto, Spes Nostra Es Deus meaning God Is Our Hope (those 6 years of Latin continue to prove useful in surprising ways). 

Labels: no manufacturer labels remains, only a 1963-'74 ILGWU tag

Fiber/Care: unsure what the chenille is made of but it's soft, very plush, and likely a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, the lining is a silky quilted fabric, probably rayon, backed with a cotton or blend batting. Dry Clean.

Condition: only subtle signs of wear on the exterior. the chenille was probably fluffier to begin with, but is still plenty plush. we've stitched a few seams closed. no tears to the exterior and no stains. we repaired the lining at the underarms. some weak spots remain. we did not dry-clean this jacket but it's odor-free and ready to wear. has a stretchy belt loop, but no belt (we'd just snip that as we think it looks better without).
