Up for sale is an absolutely spectacular piece of mid-century American fashion history. This vibrant, coral/poppy-orange double-breasted coat was tailored by the legendary luxury house Originala exclusively for the elite specialty department store The Addis Co. of Syracuse, New York.
Dating to the late 1950s, this garment is verified authentic by its blue-ink National Board of the Coat and Suit Industry recovery union tag. It features a striking, structured mod silhouette with a sharp collar, military-inspired half-belts at the waist, and heavy, polished gold-tone domed statement buttons. Originala was world-renowned for using the finest luxury textiles, and the tailoring on this heavy wool piece is exceptional. The premium inner silk/satin lining perfectly color-matches the vibrant coral outer shell.
