This is a fabulous 1960s vintage Cojana coat made using Liberty of London fabric - please read more about Cojana further down this page.  The fabric used to make this vintage Cojana coat is woven with coarse knit purple diagonal stripes alternating with similar stripes in black and in an ombré red to orange pattern.  This vintage Cojana coat also has black bands down the centre front, sides, edging the collar and accenting the cut of the coat at the back.  It has a collar that can be worn up or down (see photos) and an eight button double breasted front that can be buttoned up to the neck or left open at the top to form lapels.  The shoulders are squared and the sleeves are wrist length so that one could expose one’s gloves.  The back is pleated at the bottom to flare out to the hemline.  There is a velvet-like lined pocket built into either side.  This vintage Cojana coat is fully lined in a black taffeta fabric.
