Vintage 1970s Wool Cape Coat Marielle Fleury Rainmaster Sz M

This is a very nice quality vintage 1970s wool cape coat designed by Marielle Fleury for Rainmaster - Fleury is considered to have been one of the most influential Quebec designers and her designs are becoming quite sought after.  The wool is of a heavier weight and is fully lined in black quilted fabric.  This vintage 1970s wool cape coat does up with four large plastic buttons and has two openings to allow the arms to emerge from under the cape - there is an over flap that comes around to cover the arms (see photos).   It was a fairly wide pointy collar.  There is a vertical pocket at either side of the body of this vintage 1970s wool cape coat.
