My afghan coat

Look what I found lurking at the back of the wardrobe!  My original afghan coat from the 70s!


It was so cosy and warm and of course, super trendy ... at the time!


Looks well worn, doesn't it.  These coats were very popular for a while in the 70s.


I remember some afghan coats had embroidery on them and were much longer in length than mine.


Do you remember afghan coats?  Did you have one?

Love, Liz

Snap! I had almost exactly the same coat in the 1970s. How wonderful that you still have yours. Brings back quite a few memories! xxx

My goodness, that brought back some lovely memories. I had one very similar but maybe a little longer.

I remember those well. I always wanted one but alas my wishes were not granted. Lovely to see yours so well cared for.

Oh I love it😁😁 I tried everywhere to get one in the late 70's but they were expensive. I had a quilted jacket, do you remember those. I'm guessing you were a bit of a hippie chick too 😉😉

Ah, I love it! Almost bought one in the charity shop recently! It was so nice but decided I had too many coats! Regret it as it was only £4!

I so wanted one of these at the time - just as well I didn’t get one as we moved to a warm part of Australia soon after! Lesley

Hi Liz! So nice that you popped in to see my wee garden! Your recent tea posts are so cheery. My sister had a coat like this, and I have certainly seen them in films of that era.So fun that you still have it. The landscape must be beautiful and green where you are. Happy spring!

I love your afghan coat. I had one too. Does it still fit you?? If it does, I can see some a little tarting up happening with some gorgeous trims and the like. =)
