Lot 179: A Vintage Episode Wool Blend Coat with Faux Fur Collar
A vintage woman’s wool blend coat by the brand Episode, dating from the late 20th century, circa late 1980s to early 1990s. The garment is crafted from a heavy, mottled grey and brown textured wool-blend fabric. It features a prominent, oversized shawl-style collar in a long-pile faux fur with variegated brown and cream tones. The interior is fully lined with a dark olive-green satin-effect fabric. The garment has a broad-shouldered silhouette characteristic of its era. The coat has a single-breasted front closure with dark brown buttons featuring a slightly irregular, naturalistic rim. A fabric label is present at the interior neckline; the visible portion of the brand name reads PISODE, and the fibre content is listed as 70% wool, 15% nylon, and 15% polyester. Based on the legible characters and brand styling, the garment bears the label of Episode, a brand widely retailed in UK department stores during the late 20th century.
