■Product Details■

Era:
Circa 1960s–1970s

Material:
Likely synthetic fiber

This is a women’s outer coat known in Japan during the 1960s–70s as a “Mama Coat.”

At the time, the term Mama Coat did not refer to modern baby-carry or maternity outerwear.
Instead, it described women’s coats designed with consideration for mothers during the child-rearing period, emphasizing ease of movement and allowance for natural body changes. These garments were typically made with a relaxed, roomy silhouette for everyday practicality.

This piece follows that tradition.
It features a classic coat-style construction with sleeves and a basic, functional structure.
The fabric is patterned in a blue and black check, a color combination that reflects the calm, practical aesthetic common in women’s clothing of the era.

The material is believed to be synthetic, highlighting the period’s focus on durability and ease of use.

From a contemporary perspective, this coat offers:

  • A relaxed, loose silhouette

  • A size and shape suitable for layering

making it easy to incorporate into modern daily wear.

While the term Mama Coat is still used today, this item is not a modern functional or maternity-specific garment.
Rather, its value lies in being a piece of Japanese vintage clothing rooted in the lifestyle, social context, and image of motherhood in Japan during the 1960s–70s.

The blue and black check pattern conveys both practicality and understated elegance typical of women’s wear at the time, and today evokes a strong sense of Showa-era retro atmosphere.

Beyond fashion use, this coat is also meaningful as a vintage garment that reflects the everyday life and values of its period.
