1980s Vintage Jean Louis Scherrer Coat Designer Duffle Style Size L
This is a vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat made in France. The coat is Scherrer’s version of the classic duffle coat. It has four peg “toggle” closures, hence the name “toggle coat”. This vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat has padded and dropped shoulders that are decorated with a cover that has a pointed edge and the cuffs and upper back are similarly finished in points. There are buttons under the collar for a detachable hood but the hood is missing. There is a large patch pocket at either side. This vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat is lined across the top only and there is a slit at either bottom side. The toggles are made of metal, the buttons impressed with the letters JLS.
Label: Jean Louis Scherrer Boutique Paris Made in France. Scherrer started his career at Christian Dior, working alongside Yves St Laurent. In 1957, he became head designer at Louis Feraud and then started his own fashion house in 1962.
Content label: None, but obviously a quality wool
Sizing: No size is indicated, and although this vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat should fit a medium size, please rely on the following measurements for fit, taking the style of this vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat and the thickness of the fabric into account:
Shoulders: 22” across, from shoulder seam to shoulder seam - note that due to the dropped shoulder, the seam sits on the upper arm
Sleeves: 21” long from the shoulder seam
Sleeve Inseam: 14 1/2”
Chest: 50” around, taken under the arms
Waist: 50” around
Length: 37” at the back from the neck seam
Condition: Aside from the missing hood, this vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, soiling, staining or odour. The metal on the toggles are either tarnished, or had been burnished and are losing the black colour - very minor issue.
This is a quality vintage Jean Louis Scherrer coat!
