Description
Design History:
Hermès, an iconic French luxury house founded in 1837, has always paid particular attention to the quality of its coats and outerwear. This loose-fitting, belted coat is in the tradition of the cavalier and military-inspired garments reinterpreted by the house in the 1970s-1980s. The choice of precious materials such as angora underlines Hermès’ commitment to comfort, durability and functional elegance, a signature of its men’s wardrobe.
Exterior details:
The coat is distinguished by its slightly mottled gray fabric, tightly woven but soft to the touch. The lines are sober, with no decorative inserts, allowing the quality of the fabric to speak for itself. The classic collar can be worn up or flat, and the cuffs feature an adjustable button placket. Two side pockets are discreetly integrated into the seams. The tone-on-tone belt, with imitation horn resin buckle, structures the silhouette without stiffness.
Interior Details:
The interior is fully lined with a smooth, slightly satin-finish gray rayon fabric, making it easy to put on and enhancing thermal comfort. The Hermès Paris label is sewn onto the inside chest, along with a small button for support. The lining features an inside buttoned pocket for personal belongings.
Product Condition:
The coat is in very good overall condition for a vintage piece. The wool and angora retain their original texture, without excessive pilling. A few light traces of use are visible, notably at the bottom of the coat and on the waistband, with no structural impact. Seams, buttons and buckles are in good condition and functional. There are no obvious tears or stains.
Care instructions:
Given the presence of angora, we recommend that you take this coat to a dry cleaner specializing in high-end textiles. Occasional dry brushing preserves the softness and volume of the fibers. Avoid prolonged dampness and store on a wide hanger in a fabric cover to preserve the coat’s shape.
Why to choose this product :
This vintage Hermès wool and angora coat combines thermal comfort, sober aesthetics and quality craftsmanship. It will suit lovers of exceptional clothing looking for durable, elegant pieces steeped in history. Its fluid, belted cut offers great freedom of movement while structuring the silhouette, making it a judicious choice for facing winter with refinement.
