Gorgeous vintage 1990s Escada red and black cashmere and wool blend opera coat
with oversized notch lapel collar, four double breasted buttons front
closure, light shoulder pads, long raglan style sleeves with straight
cuffs and oversized cocoon/tent silhouette. Gorgeously plushy and soft
wool, angora and cashmere blend fabric, fully lined. Made in Germany.
Two
dilemmas: First - I am not sure if this coat has pockets. There are
pocket slots at front, but they are uncut (fully sewn in, not just
stitched) and it feels like there is enough fabric under the lining that
there could actually be pockets in there. I make no promises. Second -
the fit. This coat is designed to fit oversized, because that's what
power dressing meant in the 90s - the bigger the coat, the bigger the...
wallet... ego... You get the idea. The coat was made in Germany and the
size on the tag is 38 (which translates into a US 6). This coat is NOT a
size 6. It's more like a size 66. It will swallow a size 6 whole and
then ask for more. However, it is designed to fit oversized on a S/M
sized body, so I have no idea in the vicinity of what actual modern size
it's situated. Measurements are below. I hope you survived this
paragraph.
The coat can be worn belted or not, the
belt in the photo is NOT included in the sale. Neither is the dress. Just the coat. COAT ONLY.

Items come from a smoke free, pet free, mostly chemicals free home (fragrances, detergents, sprays, etc.).
I
ship all orders according to package weight, either in Ebay branded
white envelopes or in USPS provided priority mail envelopes or boxes. In
order for the items to fit in the envelopes/boxes, they must be folded,
and therefore they will arrive at your destination wrinkled. There is
nothing I can do to prevent wrinkling that happens in transit. All is
not lost though - give it a quick steam and it will look like new. If
the item is dry clean only, you should probably take it to a dry cleaner
to have it pressed.
I
offer combined shipping for two or more items. Please take a look at my
others items for sale, as they are usually in the same size range.
Thank you and happy shopping.
As much as I would love to, unfortunately, I cannot accept returns
at this time, as they end up being costly for both of us. Please check
out all of the details included in the description, compare the
measurements to your own and study carefully all pictures before
purchasing. Also, please
ask any questions you might have regarding measurements or any other
details before buying, I
