This rare 1960's Christian Dior mid-season red wool coat, is a rare piece to behold and the perfect statement piece for your transitional wardrobe. 

The V shaped neckline of the coat is framed by a wide pointed collar, which sets off the double breasted cut of the coat that crosses over along the left hand side of the base of the neckline. The elegant sloped shoulder line, sets off the 3/4 length wide dolman sleeves. The wide box cut of the coat is set off by tailored Princess seams which descent along the length and frame the double breasted cut which is accented by large matching red buttons. The Princess seams boast front pockets along the hipline ti each side of the front of the coat. Finished with kick pleats to either side of the fronts of the hemline and lined in red rayon, this truly incredible coat showcases the craftsmanship and design of Christian Dior during the 1960's.
