Vintage Byblos Oversized Wool Coat – Made in Italy, c. 1980s

This striking vintage women’s coat by Byblos captures the bold, fashion-forward aesthetic of the Italian label during the 1980s. Crafted from a textured 100% wool tweed in a large-scale houndstooth pattern of charcoal, cream, and muted green, the coat features a slouchy, oversized silhouette with broad shoulders, a deep notched lapel, and double-breasted button closure. Angled welt pockets at the hips add practicality, while the loose fit and dropped sleeves embody the relaxed yet dramatic proportions characteristic of the decade’s high-fashion outerwear.

The coat is fully lined in a floral jacquard cotton, underscoring the Italian commitment to refined construction and quality fabrics. In excellent condition, freshly cleaned and ready to wear. 

About Byblos:

Founded in 1973 as a youthful offshoot of the Italian fashion house Genny, Byblos came into its own in the 1980s when Gianni Versace initially contributed to its design direction, followed by Guy Paulin and Keith Varty & Alan Cleaver, who developed its playful, architectural, and avant-garde aesthetic. The brand became synonymous with bold textiles, sculptural silhouettes, and modern reinterpretations of classic tailoring, attracting an international clientele looking for sophistication with an edge.

This piece is a collectible example of 1980's Italian design, balancing timeless tailoring with the statement-making attitude of the era.
