1960s Harlequin Penny Lane Coat

Late 1960s Canadian Penny Lane Coat in Harlequin Patchwork Suede with Sheepskin Trim

This extraordinary late 1960s Penny Lane coat embodies the playful excess and bohemian glamour of its time. Made in Canada, it features a bold harlequin patchwork design in magenta, vanilla bean, and black suede, trimmed with plush sheepskin at the collar, cuffs, and hem. Fully lined in warm sheepskin shearling, it’s both a statement piece and a practical winter coat.

Its dramatic silhouette, exaggerated trims, and kaleidoscopic patchwork make it a true icon of late-60s style—equally at home in London’s Carnaby Street scene as on today’s streets where individuality still reigns.

Styling

Channel true Penny Lane energy by wearing it over a mini dress and boots, or pair with denim and a turtleneck for a modern, wearable take. Its striking patchwork makes it the outfit centerpiece—keep accessories minimal to let the coat shine.

Condition

Amazing, almost like new and unworn condition, however on the underside of the fur collar, there is a 2cm section where the seams have ripped. This is invisible because it is on the underside of the collar, but is easily repairable. Please see the picture. Otherwise the coat is in perfect condition. The sheepskin is still plush and the suede rich in tone. Small areas of minor colour transferral in the patchwork, not noticeable when worn.

Measurements. Fits like M-L but can also be worn oversized or with chunky knits.
