This is a wonderful vintage 1960s black leather coat made in Canada under the Bantamac brand name.  This vintage 1960s black leather coat has notched lapels, diagonal pockets, a three button closure and cinches at the waist with a leather belt.  The sleeves have adjustable buckled belts at the cuffs .  This vintage 1960s black leather coat is lined in blue fabric. 

Label:  Bantamac of Canada Ltd. Deluxe Tailored Weather Perfect Made in Canada

Bantamac was founded by Benjamin Breier, a Dutch national, who is credited with being the first to introduce lightweight wind and weather resistant jackets.  The Bantamac brand was filed as a trademark in 1949, but Bantamac jackets were used by the US Army and Navy during WWII.

Color: Black

Sizing: Size 44 is indicated on the label, but this is a vintage sizing and although I think that this vintage 1960s black leather coat would fit a medium size, about a US size 38/40, please rely on the following measurements for fit (compare the measurements to those of a similar coat that you might own and consider leaving space for a jacket):

Shoulders: 18 1/2” across the top from seam to seam

Sleeves: 25” long from the shoulder seam

Sleeve Inseam: 16 1/2” long

Chest: 45” around, taken under the arms

Waist: 44” around, but meant to be cinched with the belt

Overall length: 38"

Condition:  This vintage 1960s black leather coat is in very good condition with only a few small surface picks to the leather - see the last two close-up photos.  Otherwise, no staining, soiling, wear or tear, this has been well kept over the last 60 years.

This is a great looking vintage 1960s black leather coat – nice quality fabric, great vintage look!
