Vintage 1960s - 1970s Princess Coat w Cape - RARE Sherlock Holmes Plaid Wool + Velvet Belted Cloak Coat Size XS to S

♛Details

RARE vintage late 1960s to early 1970s designer Jill Jr. (for Joseph's) wool plaid princess coat with chestnut velvet accents, matching belt, flared skirt, hip pockets, rust-colored lining + detachable matching cape-cloak. Its Union label dates 1963 - 1974; the closest match I found for it in the newspaper archives dates to 1969. Beautiful high quality, perfectly suits Sherlock Holmes/Edwardian/Dark Academia aesthetics.
