This 1960s mod coat is by Samuel Robert, a pioneer in fashionable leather designs for women. This beautiful coat is a kidskin leather in powder blue with three giant plastic buttons. The buttons clink and are heavy, so they may be lucite. Pockets at both hips. Fully lined. Half sleeves.

Unfortunately this beauty acquired a lot of grime over the years and wasn't cleaned properly, so it will need a trip to the leatherer and I have priced accordingly. I've cleaned it up a bit with leather lotion but was not able to remove all of the dirt. There's primarily dirt along the backs of the arms, and shoulders, but please expect to have this item professionally cleaned. We do not have a professional cleaner in our area, so I am leaving it to the buyer.

Marked a vintage size 12, fits about a modern 6/8. Shown on a size 12 model who is 5'4.

Bust measures 42", length 42".
