Vintage Irving Posluns jacket, thrifted


Finally, it's been warm enough to shed the winter coat and now I can show you a thrifted coat I've been dying to show you! A Made in Canada leather swing coat by Irving Posluns - $19.99 at Canadian Thrift!!


Isn't it darling? Suede with faux fur trim and an A-line shape, it looks great with skinny jeans. I have a def thing for Irving Posluns jackets - the coat designer was hot in Toronto in the 1960s. I've seen some of his stuff for sale online and coats can be upwards of $300. I prefer to find mine thrift!

  2. Looks great... but I bet you can't wait till it's warm enough to wear your great Escada jacket in town! I'm just excited that the days are getting longer. For March, that's good enough for me so far...

  3. Thanks The Bohemienne, I love Posluns' jackets. And yes SixBalloons, that Escada jacket got some great wear when I was away in Florida - I know it will be a spring staple!
