Vintage 1970s Bonnie Cashin Raincoat Ladies Size 10

Vintage 1970s Bonnie Cashin Raincoat Ladies Size 10

$175.00

This is a vintage 1970s Bonnie Cashin raincoat.  Any garment with a Bonnie Cashin label was designed by Bonnie Cashin herself as she did not use assistant designers or license her name.  This Bonnie Cashin raincoat is made of a nylon based synthetic fabric - the content label is missing so I can’t be precise regarding the fabric.   The coat has wide notched lapels, raglan sleeves and belted cuffs.  It has a four button front, but the neck can be closed by folding over the lapel and buttoning it under the left collar.  When closed, it has a straight, shirt type collar and is secured with a matching belt.  There is a large patch pocket at either lower side, accessed from the back but decorated with a button-down flap.  This Bonnie Cashin raincoat is cut full with a wide flare to the hemline.
