Vintage HILDA LTD Icelandic Wool Coat

Vintage Hilda Ltd. Icelandic wool coat, likely from the 1970s or 1980s. The brand "Hilda Ltd." was well-known for producing high-quality garments using unique Icelandic wool, a material prized for being warm yet lightweight. 

Key Features

Material: The coat is made from 100% pure virgin Icelandic wool (or "laine wool"), which is durable and resistant to harsh climates.

Design: It features a long, double-breasted silhouette with large buttons and front pockets. The body of the coat is a neutral gray/cream, while the sleeves and collar have a distinct geometric or Nordic-inspired (Fair Isle) pattern in pastel blue, yellow, and white tones.

History: The Hilda Ltd. company was founded by an American in the early 1960s and ceased operations around 1990. Their garments were built to last, which is why many are still found today on vintage apparel markets. 

Does fit true to size for the slightly oversized fit intended.

Very good vintage condition. No flaws were found except for some very minor fuzzing of the wool and maybe an occasional pill. We always recommend a professional cleaning on vintage items.
