VTG 40s–60s Ethnic Hooded Coat M L Black and similar items

Unusual vintage ethnic hooded coat, likely 1940s?1960s, in black boiled wool (unlined) with elaborate tarnished silver braid and rickrack trim. Single loop-button closure at front, wide shoulders, and pointed hood. Striking folkloric styling that blends well with gypsy, elf, and steampunk aesthetics. Condition: Overall very good vintage condition, but with notable flaws: one large chew on the front, staining on the white satin trim, loose threads, and a tear in the hood (likely from a hanger). Best suited for costume, collector display, or repair. Provenance Note: This piece may be Tibetan or Mexican in origin, where hooded boiled wool garments with elaborate braid trims were made for ceremonial or folkloric use. The tarnishing of the silver braid suggests it may be sterling. Unique coats like this, blending utility and ornamentation, are rarely found outside cultural archives and costume collections.
