Vintage Coats And Jackets For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a broad range of vintage coats and jackets for sale on 1stDibs. For vintage coats and jackets, Black is a pretty popular color, but we also have Brown, Gray, Beige and more in stock now. If you’re looking for accessories from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find some that date back to the 20th Century while other versions may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. Vintage coats and jackets designed by Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Christian Dior — each of whom created beautiful versions of these treasured items — are worth considering. There aren’t many items for unisex if you’re seeking these accessories, as most of the options available are for men and women.

Finding the Right Clothing for You

Start building your collection of covetable and iconic vintage clothing today — no matter where you roam, there is a curated selection of designer dresses and gowns, sweaters, shirts, dazzling shoes and more on 1stDibs that will keep you covered in the hottest styles from head to toe.

From elegant museum-worthy vintage Chanel dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing for sale on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. 

Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino, Ralph Lauren and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Balmain endure for haute couture advocates and beyond. 

And vintage is the name of the game on today’s red carpets, too. Celebrity stylists are turning to archival pieces created by the likes of Bob Mackie, Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier as alternatives to new gowns plucked straight off the runway. Wearing such sought-after items gives celebrities instant allure and suggests a personal style that’s not only achingly glamorous but intellectually informed and influenced by a love of craftsmanship. 

Those seeking contemporary luxury looks and in-demand street-style fits can indulge in designs by Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Loro Piana, while pieces from Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace endure as examples of fashion’s most covetable goods. 

The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. Find vintage clothing and accessories for sale on 1stDibs, including designs by Balenciaga, Valentino, Celine, Loewe and more.

Questions About Vintage Coats and Jackets
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    The difference between a jacket and a coat often comes down to length. Usually, the hemline of a jacket travels to the waist or just above the hips. On the other hand, coats fall at the hips or below. Some may travel all the way to the calves or the ankles. Explore a wide variety of outerwear on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a trench coat and a jacket is that one is a specific type of outerwear, while the other is a general term. A jacket is any piece of outerwear with a hemline that falls above the hips, while longer toppers are called coats. A trench coat is a coat usually made from a durable material like thick canvas or wool. Most have a double-breasted button closure, a notched collar, strap epaulets at the shoulders, side pockets and a belt. Find a large collection of trench coats, jackets and other outerwear on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    There really is no difference between a sport coat and a sport jacket. Both terms describe a collared jacket worn over a shirt for occasions that call for business casual or upscale casual dressing. Often patterned, sport jackets differ from dressier suit jackets, which tend to feature solid colors or very subtle prints. Explore a diverse assortment of sport coats and blazers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To authenticate a Chanel jacket, take a close look at the neck tag. You should see the style number, size in French sizing and a two digit number followed by the letter C for cruise, P for spring or A for autumn. This represents the year and collection. For example, 14C is the 2014 cruise collection. Once you know the style number and collection, use reputable online resources to ensure that Chanel actually produced that jacket for that season with that number. Shop a wide range of expertly vetted Chanel jackets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How you wear a vintage tweed jacket is largely a matter of personal preference. Slip one on with trousers or a pencil skirt to create a polished ensemble for work or elevate your weekend jeans by adding one. Shop a variety of vintage tweed jackets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Many fashion lovers believe that vintage leather jackets are worth it. Due to their unique character and luxurious material, leather jackets from well-known makers, such as Versace, Hermès, Chanel and Christian Dior, are popular among collectors. You can choose from a wide range of styles, from cropped biker-chic looks to sweeping trenches made of sumptuous leather. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in vintage leather jackets is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of vintage leather jackets and other jackets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    To tell if a leather jacket is vintage, look for a maker's label. Once you have located the label, consult trusted online resources to determine when the brand was active. For makers that are still in business, examine online photographs of their labels from various time periods to find a match and estimate the age of your jacket. For a piece to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage leather jackets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 13, 2024
    What a vintage mink coat is worth will depend on certain factors. A small mink coat could sell for under $300 while a top designer coat could sell for over $10,000 — and size, brand name, quality and condition will play a role in determining its value.

    Vintage mink coats created by internationally revered designers and brands such as VersaceChanel or Armani — none of which utilize fur anymore in their products — can fetch prices today in the tens of thousands of dollars (particularly if kept in good condition). Luxury mink coats were very fashionable during the 1980s and could command up to several hundred thousand dollars.

    What a mink coat is worth can also see fluctuations owing to societal and cultural factors such as a shift in attitudes with respect to the use of animal fur in the fashion industry. 

    Experts recommend consulting an appraiser or professional seller in order to accurately determine the value of your vintage mink coat.

    Find vintage mink coats, jackets and other outerwear for sale on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    To tell if a vintage leather jacket is real, first look for any tags that show the material content. You can also do a quick test by applying one to two drops of water to an inconspicuous area. If the water is absorbed, the jacket is likely real leather. Water will usually roll off faux leather. On 1stDibs, find a collection of leather jackets.
