1990s Raspberry Red Vintage Trench Coat by Harvey Nichols
Stand out from the crowd in this gorgeous raspberry red vintage trench coat. It is Parisian chic epitomised in a coat if ever I saw it. It has an incredibly flattering silhouette and packs in all the classic trench coat details: raglan sleeves with shoulder pads, epaulettes, sleeve straps, buckle belt, back vent, storm pockets, buttoned collar strap, deep back yoke/rain guard… What’s not to love? It is unusually lined in its outer fabric, which gives a lovely weight, drape and swing, as well as extra warmth. It has been washed with Nik Wax so it should be okay in light rain but I cannot guarantee full showerproof.

Buying Vintage Don’t always believe the label ~ vintage sizes are not the same as modern sizes, they usually come up much smaller.
To confirm your Vintage Akimbo size and for step by step instructions on how to take your measurements, please check the Size Guide - all you need is a tape measure!
Care Advice The label says it is machine washable, but I recommend dry cleaning as washing may cause misshaping to the shoulder pads (one of the shoulder pads has just been professionally replaced).
