Reserve for Valerie C Vintage Checked Wool Yellow, Black, Turqouise Western Coat w Fringe

This is really incredible. I put it on for one day deciding if I wanted to keep it and I got compliments all day! Alas it’s a wee bit too small for me so here it is!

The wool in shades of yellow, black, turquoise, blue and reddish brown is thick and luxurious. It’s lined in some sort of rayon taffeta. The lining is impeccable. The coat has the class Western “v” on the front and back as well as fringe on the bottom.

The coat has turquoise triangles on either side of the pockets. The buttons look like some sort of black hard plastic. The elbows have black suede patches.

I put 1960s because of the buttons, but it could be 50s, 60s or 70s, it is impossible to tell as there are no labels.

CONDITION: There are two tiny issues but otherwise in excellent condition. As seen in the photos, there is one pin prick type hole which honestly I cannot even find again and on the top panel on the back of the coat there is a blemish that is about 4 mm wide. Otherwise the coat has no fading, tears, rips, stains or smells. I rating this as being in excellent minus condition.
