7) 1950s/1960s BURBERRY "SOLGARDINE" BALMACAAN RAINCOAT.
Named after the estate in Inverness, Scotland, where this style of coat was first developed, the Balmacaan coat is designed to be a simple and elegant coat that offers exceptional weather protection.
This version of the Balmacaan by Burberry dates from the late 1950s or early 1960s--a precision in dating made possible by the fact that this is cut from Burberry's "Solgardine" cloth, a proprietary blend of 55/45 polyester/wool.... a fabric that has the feel and heft of the original World War One gabardine. Given the limited time in which Burberry made coats from Solgardine this is a very rare coat indeed!
Featuring the traditional raglan sleeves of the Balmacaan, this coat has a five button front closure with a concealed placket, attached wrist adjuster straps for a close fit against the cold and the rain, deep interior pockets that can be reached by the flapped slash pockets on the front of the coat, a Prussian collar with a boutonniere buttonhole, and a single center vent at the rear.
Naturally, being a Burberry, it was Made in England--and it features a lovely vintage Harvest Gold lining.
This coat is in Very Good/Excellent condition. It has a couple of minor smudges on the shell, as shown, one of the buttons on the pocket flaps has been replaced, and there is a small white smudge in the lining at the hem.
Asking just $85 > 65, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
