Vintage trench coat from the 1970s. Removable hood. Large pointed collar. Two big front pockets. Stripe-pattern stitching on both sides and pockets. Button closure. Belted. Stretchy material. No size tag; fits like a medium. See measurements below.
I have the womanly impulse to begin any and every sentence with a disclaimer. I try to explain myself before people can draw their own judgments. I try to course correct before the problem even occurs. I anticipate the problem. I set it in motion. Oops.
And the problem, right here and now, is a (my) misplaced ability to convince you of how amazing this coat is. Farruq says this is another disclaimer, but Farruq is biased because I source clothes for him directly. Plus, good ~writing~ always needs a good intro, and I suppose a loss for words signifies amazement.
So, I am amazed by this coat. It has the perfect pointed collar and extraordinary pockets that can fit your lipstick, hand sanitizer, water bottle, and even a small puppy, all at once. It's long which is always fabulous, but you already know that. The best part, however, is the REMOVABLE HOOD. It's not a weird hood, it's a glamorous hood. It makes me feel like Jackie O. on a cold day in London, wandering around in search of a Diet Coke, and visiting an animal shelter or two. Sounds like the perfect day to me.
