Made of a fine crisp

1973 Valentino Striped Lightweight Coat Unlabeled and Fabulous Waist: 14-15" flat across fromWhenever you find a piece that is dated it instantly becomes extra special! This piece is clearly gated 1973 and it is fabulous to boot! It is constructed from a coated cotton that allows it to be light and easy to wear during the warmer months but retain its shape and feel more "coat like" then it would be otherwise, It is cut loose and easy with a tie belt to give it shape. The entire body is cut straight and the sleeves almost a dolman cut. Huge
