about me

A sculptural early 60s coat crafted from luxury French-woven fabric, produced exclusively for Morab New York and tailored by Adams of Allentown. Dating to circa 1962–1964, this piece reflects the postwar moment when Parisian textile innovation met American specialty tailoring, favoring architectural silhouettes over ornament. The diagonal jacquard weave, relaxed cocoon shape, and three-quarter sleeves give this coat a quietly powerful, modernist presence that still feels strikingly current. Very heavy wool, and very warm.
