1960s Italian cotton gabardine waterproof coat

1960s Italian cotton gabardine.

This is a casual coat—also serving as a raincoat—tailored for women,

but it is sized to be worn unisex.

It features a sophisticated, slightly faded hue that looks like a purple so deep it is almost black.

The shade is exquisite, so please be sure to take a look at the photos.

It is made of pure cotton gabardine, which is durable due to its tight weave and waterproof finish, yet feels moist and pleasant to the touch.

I usually associate gabardine with menswear, but the balance of its enchanting muted tone and sheen is incredibly alluring and wonderful.

Now, about this gabardine.

It is a highly water-resistant material originally devised by the founder of Burberry for raincoats,

and it has the unique characteristic of the fibers tightening further when humidity rises on rainy days;

it repels water effectively, making it highly recommended for the upcoming rainy season.

The lining features a wool check fabric, and the rest is fully lined with the same gabardine material, including double layers all the way to the cuffs, yet it remains light and comfortable to wear.

The condition is remarkably good—in a sense, you wouldn't even think it was vintage.

I imagine it will look even cooler as it develops a worn-in texture with plenty of use.

Just thinking about it is enchanting.

I believe this is a coat for a sophisticated adult in the best sense of the word. A must-see.
