Vintage 1970s Faux Shearling Coat by Utex Men’s Size M
This is a vintage 1970s faux shearling coat made by Utex under their Call of the Wild label. The coat features a tan suede-look exterior and a plush dark brown Borg fleece lining, including a full fleece interior body and collar. Styled in a double-breasted cut with wide lapels and pearlescent plastic buttons, this is a classic cold-weather coat with a rugged retro look.
A staple of Canadian winter fashion in the 1970s, Borg fabric provided the look and warmth of shearling while remaining lightweight and durable. This coat has side pockets, a deep notch collar, and a straight longline silhouette.
