Cape Expectations Vintage Wool Coat

This Charles Klein vintage wool coat is a true mid-century treasure — complete with a union tag confirming its 1960s origin. Crafted in rich black wool, the standout detail is the cape overlay that circles from the back to the front, draping over the shoulders in a sculptural, elegant sweep. The edges are trimmed in black velvet ruffles, adding depth and texture to the already stunning silhouette.

An elongated rounded lapel, also velvet-trimmed, frames the neckline beautifully, while the front velvet-covered buttons tie the entire design together. This piece is unique, timeless, and unmistakably vintage — the kind of coat that elevates denim but also shines over a dress for evening. Warm, dramatic, and incredibly chic, it’s winter outerwear at its finest.

Please reference sizing notes prior to purchase.
