vintage David Smith plisse coat/dress, circa mid 50s to early 60s - deadlyvintage.com

Time for the clean look of a tailored coat,

so cover up....

Belt one over a wispy dress, put the collar up, add killer shoes and the de rigueur dark sunglasses. Slick your head with a scarf or knot one at your neck. Ta da… classic-ly chic you.

The soft-to-the-touch, glossy black plisse plays like Alligator-skin. Six big covered buttons adorn a double-breasted front. Bracelet-length sleeves can be folded up. Two extremely deep front pockets. Fully lined in brown-black faille.

A David Smith RAIN-PAKA.

size : large

price : $54

Cotton velveteen shell is BEDAZZLED with an intricate, hand-painted & sequin-topped design. Aztec-influenced motif depicts a large eagle perched on curling branches. Metallic gold brushwork. Sequins are colored emerald, ruby, gold and sapphire. Fitted. Metal zipper opens the back hem. A dashing piece of Souvenir textile art. Most probably this originally matched a Mexican circle skirt.

Punchy silhouette pairs a blouson top to a pencil skirt. Back bodice has a deep inverted-pleat detail. Narrow-narrow through the skirt. Stand-up cowl-neck shows off your collarbones. Side zipper & snaps.

Very well-made. Lined through the skirt in green organdy. With an era-defining palette of aqua-green, primary blue, acid yellow and fern green --- in a pretty wallpaper print.

When we received this beauty recently, we were informed by its last owner that it was in good working order and that the tubes were good and matched. However, we are selling it AS IS without having tested it ourselves.

Includes original manual (with schematic), warranty, etc.

When we received this beauty recently, we were informed by its last owner that it was in good working order and that the tubes were good and matched. But we haven't tested it ourselves - we're just selling it AS IS.

To the best of our knowledge, there is only small cosmetic issues: missing metallic face plates from the preamp knobs and fraying of the cloth at the base of the power cord.

Includes original manual (with schematic), warranty, and several sheets of McIntosh brand stickers to put on your LPs to mark their equalization curves. added on 2009-03-05

Imagine the yummiest, most toothy and fun vintage plaid ever. Now, take a look at this one. Vintage tweeds trump all but the most expensive of contemporary textiles. They're tactile, vivid, luscious, and sometimes, as in this case, witty. Presenting a fern green and copper confetti tweed --- autumnal tones speckled with white, turquoise, gold and red flecks. The textile does all the talking ; skirt structure is minimal --- a stright skirt with a small side vent accented by leather buttons. Collegiate. Half-lined in rayon. All plaids are purr-fectly matched. By Koret of Califonia, of San Francisco.
