Vintage 1960s Coat & Jacket Patterns

1960s outerwear reflected changing tastes. Plaids, abstract prints, lightweight wool and expressive silks were popular, while synthetic materials like polyester and PVC enabled futuristic designs by Pierre Cardin and others. Fur symbolised status, while young women embraced plastic raincoats, swing coats, fake fur, Nehru jackets and maxi coats. See 1960s Fashion Styles.
