1970s Snake Skin Trench Coat

 

 

 

 

We remember reading somewhere that Marianne Faithful and Anita Pallenberg shared joint custody of an Ossie Clark snakeskin jacket.  We think sharing clothes with another person, let alone a fabulous piece like an Ossie jacket, is asking for trouble. Better to buy something more affordable on your own and not have to make reservations to wear the damn thing.  Though not an Ossie, this rich butter hued snakeskin coat is every bit as fabulous. A sleek and sexy cut, traditional trench coat details - epaulets, rain vent on the shoulder and belted cuff bands keep it up-town as opposed to down.  Double breasted with a belted waist, it also has buttoned pocket flaps at the hip, and is lined in a brown  rayon or acetate fabric.  The bust is 35", waist 32", hip 38", shoulder 14.5", sleeve 23", length 46". And since Marianne and Anita are still arguing, decades later, over who has the Ossie, we think you're better off keeping this one to yourself.  No label and in excellent condition. sold
