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.

Although it seems that much of the original 70s clothing has disappeared over the years, the jewelry has endured. This is probably due to the fact that it receives less wear and is made from more durable materials which can stand the test of time a lot better than any kind of fabric will.

Many people like to look for small lots of jewelry. This can make their purchase much more affordable than making several small purchases. This is mainly due to the fact that shipping can be considerably less when you win a bulk auction.

One thing to remember though when you are buying vintage jewelry is that it may have seen a significant amount of wear.  If you are buying it at an estate sale, resist the urge to grab up handfuls just to beat the rush at the jewelry table.  Look at each piece carefully.  It really is not much of a bargain if you end up buying broken junk.  When you are buying used jewelry online, ask to see plenty of photos and don't be afraid to ask questions about the condition.  Also, check the sellers feedback if you are buying on eBay.  That should probably be common sense, but some people don't realize that they can learn a lot about a seller by clicking on that little number.

You can sometimes find old jewelry for sale at thrift shops, but honestly, it is usually just the same stuff you would have found at a garage sale the week before... just priced higher.
