Big winter warmth. Bold red contrast. Pure retro attitude.

*The original measurement is listed as “bust / pit-to-pit: 38 inches.” Whether this is bust circumference or flat underarm width needs confirmation. Do not double this figure or use it as a confirmed circumference. Please request clarification before purchasing if fit depends on this measurement. Labeled vintage sizing does not guarantee a modern fit.

Pre-owned and sold as-is in the condition described. The following observations are from Thirteen Vintage's condition report.

For vintage outerwear lovers who want a long, substantial winter layer with distinctive color contrast. The longline shape offers extra coverage, and the flexible collar lets you change the look without changing the coat.

• Gorpcore: pair with a fleece, straight-leg utility trousers, and lug-sole boots.

• Retro après-ski-inspired: add a cream cable-knit sweater, a bright beanie, and winter boots.

• Everyday city winter: wear over dark denim and a fitted turtleneck, leaving the lapels open to reveal the red contrast when conditions allow.

• Balance the coat's volume with a slimmer base layer; confirm room for layering using verified measurements.

~ Gallery and this garment's story:

The supplied identification records this coat as Gallery, made in Korea, with RN 43298. A verified company history, founding date, original collection, factory identity, and exact production year are not available for this listing, so those details are not attributed to the brand.

This garment's story is in its construction: vertical quilting divides the insulated body, the concealed zipper sits beneath a toggle-fastened storm flap, and the high-contrast lining turns an olive winter coat into a bold styling piece. Identified by Thirteen Vintage as a 1980s example, it can be styled today with retro alpine or contemporary gorpcore looks. Its original owner and individual wear history are unknown.

~ A longer life for an existing coat:

Choosing pre-owned keeps an existing garment in use and can reduce demand for newly manufactured outerwear when it replaces a new purchase. This coat retains its existing shell, lining, and down-and-feather insulation rather than requiring a new coat to be made for this sale. A reliable item-specific CO2, water, energy, or waste-saving calculation is not available: garment weight, production data, transport, cleaning, and the purchase it replaces would all affect the result. No numerical environmental saving is claimed.

~ Care:

Supplied care directions: dry clean using only fresh petroleum or synthetic-base solvents, OR machine wash cold with Woolite on a gentle cycle. Check the original care label before cleaning and show it to your cleaner. Drying instructions were not supplied; confirm the label's requirements before washing this down-filled garment.
