"Chloé" 70's-80's Wide-lapel double-breasted long coat

"Chloé"
70's-80's double-breasted long coat

Since its founding in 1952, Chloé has pioneered the very idea of luxurious ready-to-wear—guided by a free-spirited sensibility and refined femininity. We are pleased to present an exquisite piece with impeccable tailoring.

With a wide lapel, double-breasted front, and a long length that accentuates vertical lines, this coat is composed in a calm, one-tone palette. Amid its classically substantial presence, it delivers a softness and elegance unmistakably Chloé.

The outer fabric features a fine twill weave with a subtle brushed texture. From taupe beige with depth in a heathered tone to gentle brown hues, it creates delicate shadowing depending on how the light falls. The result is an alluring, refined look that naturally integrates into the way you dress—while still offering a strong presence as a long coat.

The shoulders and body width are given comfortable, well-judged ease, yet the silhouette falls relatively straight from the bodice down to the hem. The oversized patch pockets placed on both sides add a subtle looseness to an otherwise neat outline, while the center vent at the back ensures ease of movement when walking—and imparts a clean vertical flow to the rear view.

Inside, the lining is a partial specification centered on the upper body. Careful piping is applied to the seam allowances, achieving both a light feel and beautiful craftsmanship. The use of restrained coloration—from dark-toned four-hole buttons to metal snaps on the inside—quietly elevates the fabric’s character and the structured form.

With its cream-colored satin-like neck label featuring Chloé in black serif lettering, 42 size tabs sewn independently, and a simple display configuration—along with a tailoring approach reminiscent of older ready-to-wear through partial lining and piping—this is a vintage piece that is presumed to date primarily from around the 1970s to the 1980s. It is precisely in the coexistence of unpretentious practicality unlike today’s offerings and the Maison’s sense of grace that its value becomes unmistakable.

We particularly recommend it for those who wish to incorporate a classic coat into everyday wear without stiffness, and especially for those who prefer to express individuality through silhouette and craftsmanship rather than brand statements. The labeled size is 42; however, variations may exist by era or specifications, so we encourage you to enjoy it regardless of gender, making the ease to your advantage.

For styling, pairing a lightweight knit and wide slacks in similar tones will bring out a gentle gradient. Adding texture changes with denim or leather shoes lets you translate the coat’s vintage refinement into a modern look while preserving its distinctive elegance.

Please take this opportunity to experience a vintage Chloé—one that combines a polished one-tone finish with rare tailoring from an earlier era—for years of devoted wear.
