The Coat That Walks Into a Room Before You Do!

Some coats keep you warm. This one makes a statement. A pre-loved treasure from '77 Originals — a label born from the energy of New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles — this wool midi coat is the kind of piece that turns heads on the sidewalk and earns compliments at the door. With its dramatic faux fur collar lapel, structured button-front silhouette,  center back strap panel with button details and that subtle flap detail near the armpit bodice, it carries the DNA of American fashion at its most confident.

✦ Size & Measurements:

Size tag is missing. Please use the measurements below to determine your best fit. This coat runs with a relaxed, structured silhouette.

Modern Size Estimate: Based on these measurements, this coat best corresponds to a contemporary US XS–S / EU 34–36. The 34" bust and 32" waist suggest a fitted-to-relaxed fit on a US size 2–4 frame. The midi length (44") will fall below the knee on most heights.

All measurements are taken flat and doubled where applicable. We recommend comparing to a coat you already own for the most accurate fit.

✦ Who Is This For?

This coat is for the woman who dresses with intention. She knows that the most sustainable garment is the one already made — and she wears it like it was always hers. Whether she's drawn to old Hollywood glamour, downtown editorial cool, or simply wants a coat that does the talking, this piece delivers. It suits the vintage collector, the sustainable fashion advocate, and anyone who refuses to blend in.

✦ Why You Need It:

• Wool construction offers genuine warmth without synthetic bulk

• The faux fur collar adds instant drama — dress it up or let it be the outfit

• Midi length is universally flattering and seasonlessly chic

• One-of-a-kind — when it's gone, it's gone

• Choosing pre-loved means zero new production impact

✦ Style Tips:

• Layer over a turtleneck and wide-leg trousers for a 70s-inspired editorial look

• Pair with a slip dress and ankle boots for effortless evening dressing

• Wear belted at the waist to emphasize the silhouette

• Let the faux fur collar frame a simple black turtleneck for maximum impact

• Style with leather gloves and a structured bag for a polished, uptown finish

✦ Sustainability Impact:

Choosing this pre-loved coat instead of buying new saves approximately:

• 🌊 ~700 liters of water (vs. producing a new wool coat)

• 💨 ~10–15 kg of CO₂ emissions (vs. new garment manufacturing & shipping)

• 🧵 100% of the raw materials already in circulation — no new fiber, no new dye, no new waste

Estimates based on industry averages for wool coat production. Buying second-hand is one of the highest-impact choices a consumer can make.

✦ Brand Story: '77 Originals:

'77 Originals was an American ready-to-wear label operating across New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles — three cities that defined American fashion from different angles: the editorial edge of New York, the bold glamour of Dallas, and the laid-back luxury of Los Angeles. The brand's multi-city identity reflected a distinctly American approach to dressing: confident, wearable, and built for real life.

The 2nd Coat line was part of their outerwear offering — a secondary collection that brought the label's signature sensibility to coats designed to be worn, not just admired. Labels like '77 Originals represent an era of American manufacturing when garments were constructed to last decades, not seasons. Finding one today is finding a piece of that story.

✦ This Garment's Story:

This coat has lived a life. The missing size tag and fabrication label tell us it was worn — really worn — by someone who loved it enough to keep it. The staining on the lining is the honest evidence of a garment that went places. The outer shell, the buttons, the faux fur collar: all intact, all present, all still doing their job beautifully.

Now it's ready for its next chapter. Pre-loved pieces carry an energy that new garments simply don't have — a history, a provenance, a reason to exist beyond the trend cycle. This coat doesn't need a season. It just needs the right person.
