1960s Adele Simpson Amazing Quality Leopard Printed Velveteen Coat designer-geoffrey-beene It is a classic barrelThis Adele Simpson coat is rather exceptional. It is very well made and has a real richness to it. The leopard print has been applied to a high quality velveteen and the inner lining is a heavy ivory silk. This gives the coat some weight, but just enough that it has that feeling of a very well made piece, rather then making it feel heavy or unwieldy. The leopard print acts like a neutral in that you can pair it with pretty much anything and any color.
