Vintage 70s Raincoat by Marielle Fleury for Rain Master Coat

This is a very nice quality vintage 70s raincoat designed by Marielle Fleury for Rainmaster - Fleury is considered to have been one of the most influential Canadian designers.  This 70s raincoat is made of a water resistant black fabric (not rainproof) that is embroidered with decorative black stitching.   This 70s raincoat has long pointy collar and an eight button double breasted front - the top button can be left undone in order to form a lapel or done up to close the neck (see photos).  The coat is fully lined in black acetate and has a decorative belt at the back.

Label: Rainmaster by Marielle Fleury Made in Canada.  Rainmaster was a trademark of Sport Togs, which hired Fleury in 1969 to design a line under her own name.  This coat would date prior to 1973 due to the lack of a Canadian textile identification number and the minimal use of French on the tag.

Sizing: Size is indicated on the “repeats” tag on this 70s raincoat, and although it states size 14 and this should fit a large size, please note the following measurements for fit:

Shoulders:  16 1/2” across from shoulder/sleeve seam to shoulder/sleeve seam

Sleeve:  23” long from the shoulder/sleeve seam

Sleeve inseam:  16”

Bust:  39”, around

Waist:  38” around

Condition:  This 70s raincoat is in very clean condition with no wear, tear or stains - it is quite crisp and appears to have seen little use and was well cared for and stored over the years.

This is a wonderful 70s raincoat - great acquisition for the Canadian fashion collector or just a simple, well made, piece for Spring or Fall light rain!
