Winter is here, and it's time to look back sixty years to see how women kept warm in 1965. These advertisements were all scanned from British magazines published in 1965.
First off, a coat in Terylene, the wonder fabric of the era. The advertisement implies that Terylene replicates the qualities of Scottish wools. (Spoiler: it probably didn't.)
Weatherall advertises a "car coat" (slightly shorter and less bulky than an ordinary overcoat). At nearly £17 this was probably not the cheapest option available.
Munrospun, the real Scottish deal as compared to the Terylene imitation at the top. Checks and plaids appear to have been popular in 1965.
A coat on very modern lines (the double-breasted look would remain fashionable through the rest of the decade) with a real mink collar. Surprisingly, at £14 it was slightly cheaper than the coat by Weatherall above.
Morcosia goes for the trench-coat look with these raincoats—in a Terylene and cotton mixture.
Dannimac specialised in raincoats. Here they're branching out into casual coats (all in quilted nylon). These all look very warm and modern—you could easily wear any of them today!
Lastly, this coat in "fur fabric" from Astra in Paris. That's a fake Persian lamb coat with a real fur collar. The ad doesn't say what kind of fur it was!
