This early 1960s Oriental Style Evening Coat was made in Japan and the material is gorgeous! Golden butterflies take flight on a brilliant Emerald Green background of silk satin brocade. It may not be apparent from the photos, but this lovely green material has slight undertones of gold threads that add a bit of subtle sparkle to the coat. The coat has long sleeves….the cuffs could be turned up if the new owner desires to do so. There are five braided frog closures at the front of the coat. The collar is Mandarin style and the coat is completely lined in Ivory colored silk. Two pockets on the front…..one on each panel of the front of the coat. This style of coat has remained in fashion throughout time!

Condition: Very Good

There is a spot of material on the upper right shoulder area on the front of the coat that is just a bit lighter than the rest of the material…..I don’t have any idea what could have caused this. There are two other small swirl shaped “lighter” spots on the back right side just under one of the beautiful golden butterflies. Also, on the back of the coat are several spots which I believe to be where someone sat down in something…..these are small darker areas that are not that noticeable when the coat is being worn and may be eliminated by a professional dry cleaner. The inside of the coat is very clean with the exception of two very small spots that can be seen in Photo #8. All inner seams are nicely finished. None of these issues mentioned are extremely visible because most would be drawn to the loveliness of the material instead of the spots!

Label: Made in Japan (on the back of this label is a small rosette which I am assuming is the maker’s actual symbol.
On an inside seam there is a label written in Japanese which, I believe, gives the material as 100% silk. C. K. T 6596. And, on the reverse side are 3 care symbols.

Size: M (Medium)

This coat would be Size 8 by today’s standards.
