Vintage Lady Forecaster trench coat, dating to the late 1960s–1970s

Vintage Lady Forecaster trench coat, dating to the late 1960s–1970s, paired with an original zip-in Eddie Bauer goose-down liner from the 1970s–early 1980s. This piece represents a rare crossover of two iconic American outerwear brands, designed during a time when garments were built for longevity, versatility, and real-world use. The trench features a classic mid-century silhouette with distinctive embroidered trim at the cuffs and hem, a detail seldom seen on traditional trench coats and characteristic of late-60s/early-70s design influence. The interior plaid lining and solid construction reflect Lady Forecaster’s reputation for high-quality, American-made rainwear. The removable Eddie Bauer Expedition Outfitter liner, filled with premium goose down, zips seamlessly into the coat, transforming it from a lightweight trench into a cold-weather piece. Eddie Bauer liners from this era were engineered for interchangeability and durability, making this pairing both highly functional and increasingly hard to find intact. Together, this set exemplifies mid-century American outerwear at its best — practical, adaptable, and built to last. Finding both components preserved and wearable is uncommon, making this a collector-worthy and highly versatile vintage piece suitable for year-round wear. Medium to Large
