1970s Gil Aimbez Raspberry Trench Coat

 

 

A lightweight nylon and acrylic poplin trench coat in a mouth watering, slightly iridescent, shade of raspberry sorbet that glints in the sunlight.  Button front with military inspired details like shoulder epaulets, a detachable tab at the neck and a buckled  belt with a keeper in the rear, but true to the unconventional design style of Gil Aimbez, the coat lacks the staid look of a traditional trench coat. The belt has a faux tortoiseshell buckle, expandable patch pockets with flaps at the hip, and buttoned sleeve cuffs. The coat hits mid-calf, and is unlined. Made by Gil Aimbez for Snafu, except for a tiny, tiny hole at the seam of the hem, its in excellent condition. Bust 48", Hip 48", Shoulder 16", Sleeve 25", Length 48". $205
