Sundazed (West Germany) 70s, Exaggerated Collar, Seam Structuring, Hybrid

Ergonomic two-piece sleeves, princess seams, and triple-yoke structuring optimize mobility, silhouette claritys, and upper-body articulation. This womens mid-length black leather utility coat was produced without a designer brand label and most likely originates from a West German manufacturer active between 1973 and 1978. It exemplifies the rigorous material authenticity and structural pragmatism characteristic of Central European midcentury outerwear manufacturing. Patterned with utilitarian logic, the coat features a four-button front closure, oversized collar, patch-and-flap hip pockets, and paneled construction optimized for durability and ergonomic movement. Its silhouette references mid-century military fatigue and field jackets, reinterpreted through a gender-integrated lens appropriate for the professional shifts of the 1970s. The exaggerated collar, modular seam architecture, and extended thigh-length cut harmonize utility with minimalist authority. The outer shell is composed of full-grain black leather, most likely chrome-tanned cowhide, with natural pebbling and a semi-aniline finish. The interior is fully lined with plain-weave black polyester for abrasion resistance and weight management. Construction includes flat-felled and topstitched seams for durability, with reinforced junctions at key stress points. Vertical princess seams shape the torso; a triple-seamed yoke enhances shoulder articulation; vertical paneling maintains a straight silhouette; and ergonomic two-piece sleeves ease motion at the elbow. The oversized collar is lightly interfaced to preserve structure. Sleeves and hem edges are turned and topstitched to stabilize leather expansion over time.
