Vintage 1980s Wool Tweed Coat Belted Double Breasted Large

This vintage D'Allaird's  coat, made in Canada and dating to approximately the early 1980s, is tailored in a substantial textured tweed.

The fabric combines charcoal grey, oatmeal, cream and warm camel brown yarns in a chunky woven pattern that gives the coat considerable texture and depth. There is no fibre-content label present, but the fabric is a good-quality wool tweed.

The styling is classic and somewhat conservative, characteristic of D’Aillard’s, while the broad, heavily padded shoulder line reflects the fashionable silhouette of the early 1980s. Large shoulder pads give structure to the raglan-style shoulders, while the original self-fabric belt draws in the otherwise relatively straight silhouette at the waist.

The front has a wide notched collar and double-breasted button closure. An additional button beneath the collar allows the coat to be closed higher at the neck for warmth. Two discreet pockets are incorporated into the front.

The coat is fully lined in deep russet satin, providing an attractive contrast with the neutral tweed exterior.

The original label reads D'Allaird's  / Made in Canada. D'Allaird's  was a Canadian women's fashion label, a division of Marks & Spencer, known for classic, conservative styling and very good quality.
