80's

A spectacular expression of 1980s maximalism, this Olympia Fashions coat transforms tiger print into something closer to portraiture. Rich chocolate stripes sweep across a warm tawny ground, resolving into oversized tiger faces that emerge dramatically across the body and sleeves. A deep brown plush border frames the open front, while generous sleeves can be worn long or turned back to reveal matching statement cuffs.

Made in the U.S.A. and cut in a long, fluid silhouette, the coat has presence without feeling rigid. The placement of the pattern makes every angle visually compelling—a wonderfully theatrical piece of vintage American outerwear.

Why We Love It

This is not simply another animal-print coat. The scale and placement of the tiger imagery give it the impact of wearable textile art. It feels glamorous, mischievous, and unapologetically bold—the kind of coat that creates the entire look the moment it enters the room.

Collector’s Notes

Olympia produced a range of American-made faux-fur outerwear, but surviving examples vary considerably in design and ambition. This coat stands apart for its unusually large, strategically positioned tiger imagery, long sweeping silhouette, and contrasting plush trim. A search of the current resale market revealed other Olympia coats but very few tiger designs and no readily available identical example, making this a notably scarce surviving design from the label—and an exceptional piece for a collector, stylist, or costume archive seeking the exuberance of 1980s fashion.
