Vintage 1980s luxury Italian shearling sheepskin mouton fur coat cream beige swing trapezium style padded shoulders stunning soft sleek
 
Nobody does glamour like Italians. 
And in the 1980s, they did it especially well: luxury quality and elegance with just a little edge. 
 
This is a super example of a swing fur coat, of the kind that they started doing c 1983, trapezium shape with a swing when you walk. The look lasted 10 years, though the later manifestations in UK etc were less 'shoulders'. And for that reason, THESE are the better ones from pov of that swanky movement and shape. It has shoulders for that shape to really look good.
 
It is a one size coat so suitable for a size UK 8 that's me modelling I not only would wear it have to confess I have! ) and it is warm too, quite a weight but somehow isn't one that feels it. But it would fit up to a UK size 16 comfortably and is in fact labelled a size 44 .  
So bust up to a 44 inches, waist 48 inches, hips 53 inches of luxury swing! But you can wear if smaller frame...she just sits on your shoulders and does her stuff! The shearling is magnificent so soft and sleek. There is a subtle ripple effect which does not affect the uniformity of sheared texture you just see it in the light.  You sometimes get in sheep from colder climes so I suspect these are alpine; and the coat manufactured by a company (Tiscio or Tiscro?) which has the regional heraldic device for several municipalities in Italy including Veneto, so would  it be possible the sheep came from nearby Dolomites/Tyrol? So special if so as this is an area of trasnhumanist pastoralism, and they have many special breeds of sheep. Speculation but I can find little reference to the company though hard to decipher the script. It is certainly a high quality coat. Cream colour to a pale beige. 
 
As I think the coat dates from c 1984, I chose an Italian band of that time who fit nicely between Joy Division and The Mighty Lemon Drops in time and also style, for my 'Spirit of the Age and garment'  very underrated and if you like either of those bands you are going to love them if you don't know them. So they are called Diaframma, and the specific song is Inpronte, which means 'Footprints' from their album Siberia which is all about cold in terms of alienation of the outsider I guess, but one thing for sure is this coat is warm enough for Siberia! 
"Nelle stanze più fredde
Scoppia un caldo sorriso
Dove ho imparato a sentirti
Studiando il respiro
Quando il giorno tende a scomparire "
"In the coldest rooms
A warm smile breaks out
Where I learned to feel you
Studying the breath
When the day tends to disappear"
 
So yes she's a very cuddly sensual glamorous and dramatic coat; your lover will definitely want to feel you and hold you when you wear if they have blood in their veins, in the coldest of rooms enough to get steamy! Typical of power dressing 1980s, when we as women were at our peak glamour wise! (would also be suitable for a 1940s look of course with the right outfit so very much a femme fatale coat). Warm smiles all round indeed. One of my Italian friends...an air hostess like me at the time...who had a few lovely furs including mouton ones in a swing style... used to say if your lover doesn't get glamour keep your fur coat and change the lover !
