Unusual vintage ethnic hooded coat, likely 1940s?1960s, in black boiled wool (unlined) with elaborate tarnished silver braid and rickrack trim. Single loop-button closure at front, wide shoulders, and pointed hood. Striking folkloric styling that blends well with gypsy, elf, and steampunk aesthetics. Condition: Overall very good vintage condition, but with notable flaws: one large chew on the front, staining on the white satin trim, loose threads, and a tear in the hood (likely from a hanger). Best suited for costume, collector display, or repair. Provenance Note: This piece may be Tibetan or Mexican in origin, where hooded boiled wool garments with elaborate braid trims were made for ceremonial or folkloric use.
