Wilson's Maxima leather coat from the late 1990s

This maxi-length leather coat from Wilson's is frequently for sale on vintage clothing sites these days.  That would indicate that it was quite popular when it was being sold in stores back in the late nineties.  It causes me a pang of regret that I never witnessed even one of the thousands of beautiful women who wore this coat to the office, out on dates, to the club back then.  What gorgeous style the ladies had, and they would never dream of wearing such a coat with sneakers or a hoodie.  This coat would have been layered over a dress, or a blouse and skirt, with heels for sure.  Those were the days.

  1. Actually I also bought a few of these online. The four-button model is rather "silent", while the three-button model in good condition will creak dramatically.

  2. In fact, I've been trying to find the Danier Belle Epoque you've been mentioning, but I've never seen any vintage ones for sale online... We've bought a few vintage Danier items, and none of them is squeaky.
