1970s Black A-Line Midi Coat | Wide Collar, Button Front, Fully Lined (UK 8-10)

Vintage 1970s Black Midi Coat | Button Front A-Line Coat with Wide Collar | Minimalist 70s Long Coat | UK 8 10

Description
A beautifully understated vintage 1970s black midi coat, with a wonderfully clean silhouette and classic wide collar.

Cut in a gently flared A-line shape, the coat fastens through the front with a neat row of contrasting buttons and falls to an elegant midi length. The broad pointed collar gives it that unmistakable 1970s character, while discreet slanted pockets add practicality without interrupting the simple lines.

Fully lined and made from a synthetic fabric, this is a particularly versatile piece of everyday vintage outerwear.

The simplicity of the design makes it remarkably contemporary — an easy coat to wear over everything from dresses and boots to denim and knitwear.
A great example of the quieter side of 1970s fashion: minimal, beautifully proportioned and genuinely wearable today.

Measurements
Approximate garment measurements:
Chest: 34”
Waist: 36”
Hips: 42”
Inside sleeve: 13”
Length: 40”

Based on the measurements, I would estimate this at approximately a UK 8–10, depending on the desired fit and what is worn underneath.
Please compare these measurements with a similar coat that fits you well. Remember to allow sufficient room for any clothing or knitwear you intend to wear beneath it.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition.
The coat has been very well preserved, with no significant staining noted and all buttons present.
The black fabric, lining and overall structure present beautifully for a garment of this age.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

Styling
The beauty of this coat is its simplicity.

Wear it over a roll-neck, tailored trousers and boots for a clean 1970s-inspired look, or throw it over jeans and knitwear as an easy everyday winter coat.

The wide collar also looks fabulous with a silk scarf underneath, while the three-quarter sleeves lend themselves particularly well to longer gloves for a more deliberately vintage look.

And because there is virtually no embellishment, it can sit happily over one of your more dramatic vintage dresses without competing with it.
