Camel Leather Cape Coat with Burgundy Snakeskin Trim

1970s · 1970s · African American

A full-length hooded cape coat in camel-colored leather with burgundy snakeskin trim running vertically along the front edges. The garment features a dramatic flowing silhouette that extends to ankle length, with a pointed hood that can be worn up or draped back. The cape closes at the neck with a single tie or clasp mechanism. The snakeskin trim creates bold vertical lines that emphasize the garment's length and add textural contrast to the smooth leather surface. This piece exemplifies 1970s blaxploitation film costume design, combining luxury materials with theatrical proportions to create a powerful, commanding presence that reflects the era's embrace of bold fashion statements and cultural identity expression.
