70's Clothes
Explore 70's Fashion
As the weather has grown colder, I've noticed a lot of 70's coats selling well. People seem to like the older fashions for keeping warm too.
There are tons of offerings featuring colored suede and fur, either at the collar or trimming the entire coat. Of course, there are plenty of all fur vintage coats available was well.
There are quite a few men's overcoats currently listed, and over the past few weeks, the most expensive vintage coat from the 1970s that sold was actually a coat designed for a man. It was an Italian Vigugna Wool coat that sold for just over $700. That's just a little more than I've personally ever spent on a coat, but the auction did explain that a pound of this type of wool sells for $225 and that the fabric runs around 6 grand. That makes $700 look like a pretty good deal I guess!
Right now you could probably do alright for yourself if you are interested in checking out some vintage coats and jackets because the market is getting a ton of them added to it. Remember that vintage sizes tend to run small. It isn't that the items have shrunk (usually). We as a society seem to have supersized a bit over the past few decades. Some people also say that manufacturers have changed their labeling as well, but that's a pretty hot topic of debate.
