Retro Irving Posluns jacket: don't be green with envy
Posted on 14:14 by kumar
This is another Stretch Thrift gem, a retro Irving Posluns jacket that was under $20. It's a Kelly green plush, almost suede-like coat, with faux fur flip up collar and trim at the cuffs. Adorable eh?
I don't know much about the designer other than that he was a well-known Toronto coat designer. I showed this coat to local designer Franco Mirabelli and he told me Posluns was big in the scene in the 1960s and 70s.
My sister loves the coat so well she's already asked me if she can have it if I ever tire of it ... which I never will, lol! I'm wearing the jacket with some vintage 1960s made in Italy shades I bagged for five bucks.
