Hey? What the heck happened to global effing warming? It's mid-March, in South Tejas AND WE ARE GETTING ANOTHER WINTERY BLAST!! Okay, already, once the ice sheets hit Dallas, PERHAPS we can all say "Hey! Where's the GLOBAL WARMING!!"
Not to worry, in the 70s they had you covered - head to toe - in the most politically inappropriate Wintertime attire.
Well, Let's start out with some standard winter coats from Sears. Yeah, it's a black and white pic, but hey. (1)
So much for so-called "Global Warming" in attire like this. You have to love the "snap-on fur collar" to go with the leather coat. Somehow, I don;t think this combo is still available today!
Wait, this coat is made of ......GASP....Rabbitt!! Oh no, not Fluffy!!! (2) You gotta love the matching handbag!
Here Kathy and friend are really dressed up for some powerful winter weather! The calendar may say March, but ski wear is still appropriate attire (even during Spring Break?!?! Yikes!!!)
Young Individualists?? Well they of these lovely ladies definitely have the wind in their hair! Except in the smaller inset picture (I guess the fans were turned off of that one).
Here is a close up of that smaller pic.
This is what we need to stay warm - of course I am referring to the coats. And these gals will need to stay warm with wintery scene in the background! Naturally, you gotta love the hat Kathy is wearing....Sooooo 70s! (1)
Whoa! wait a minute. Am I seeing double again?!?! Isn't this the same pic of Kathy as the first one in black and white? Those 70s technicians worked wonders didn't they! (1)

Just curious,are all these from the same year,and what year?Dave in nv
ReplyDeleteHi Dave. No they are from different years in the 70s. That is my zone of interest, although I have been known to stray into the late 60s and early 80s at times. To see what year (and catalog) each pic is fom: first click on the pic. Then right mouse click and do a "Save As". You can then see teh year and catalog. I have used several different naming systems for pictures, but I think you can get the info you need.
DeletePS - In the eighties I worked with a woman who had a rabbit fur jacket (she called it bunny) with raccoon tails hanging off of it(!!!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, times have definitely changed in that regard!
DeleteIf you want the color version you pay full price, black and white is 15-20% off. You can't have your cake and eat it too!
ReplyDeleteGee, good point! I wonder if the black and white version that was cheaper, really did come in black and white??
DeleteYou have a good collection Blue, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm a fan of Kathy and the "K"s too, so I'm glad to help.
DeleteOn the last pic of Kathy (in the blue coat with white fleece lining), there's another shot of this in the small version of this catalog where she's wearing the same coat but pulling on her pigtails. It's a nice shot too.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check that one out when I get a chance. I've been absolutely slammed at work recently, and haven't had a chance to do much of anything except work and sleep. So next week's post might be "Here's a pic, see ya later".
