This is a vintage silver grey nylon raincoat, made in a trench style, unused, and dating to 1975. The coat still has its Simpson’s size tag affixed to it and the original owner wrote their name “Turgeon” and “May 1975” on the label, but obviously never used it. The coat has a lot of the features of a trench coat, but not all - rain guards at the front and back, large military type lapels, matching belt, button down belts at the cuffs, diagonal pockets and an eight button double breasted front closure.
Label: Mr Michel. Mr Michel Boutique was located on Bleury St. in Montreal
