Pe The Braetan Coat Company was established as a manufacturer of women's coats and suits in the early 1970s, although some records suggest a connection to a menswear line from the 1950s or 1960s.

Braetan is a renowned fashion brand, renowned for its timeless designs and quality elements, including hoods, toggle closures, waist ties, and functional pockets across different styles. FEATURES: Hoodie Full Zip C;osure (4) Functional Pockets Plaid Quilted Lining Founding Era: Braetan appears to have been established in the early 1970s as a women's coat and suit manufacturer, potentially evolving from an earlier line of men's suits and jackets. One source lists its establishment as 1932, but this information is less corroborated than details from vintage fashion expert forums and articles. Key Personnel: Carol Cohen was the designer for the Braetan and Braefair collections of coats and suits in the mid-1970s. Design Philosophy: Cohen focused on designing "outerwear" that was functional and stylish, seeing coats as the final layer of an outfit rather than just a heavy, traditional garment. Current Status: Braetan is still a recognised brand name, with its products sold by major retailers like Kohl's and online marketplaces such as Poshmark and eBay. It is primarily known for classic and high-quality outerwear.
