Pretty traditional outerwear. Vintage Latvian eiderdown coat from around 1860. The texture is striking, and the eiderdown makes this coat so warm and cozy.

Outerwear can be beautiful. Vintage British winter coat with intricate decorations from about 1863. It’s made from wool and natural fur. And the cream color is so elegant. Just look at these decorative fasteners!

Vintage British coat from about 1891. So elegant! It is made from wool and trimmed with fur. The tight-fitting silhouette adds sophistication and femininity to this outerwear.

French fancy girl’s coat from 1882. It is fashioned from a man's frock coat style. And it sports lovely and extravagant mother-of-pearl buttons. The collar is really cute. From The Met.

American winter coat for young girl, 1880-1889. It mimics an adult fur-trimmed coat. And the buckle is a nice touch.
