Vintage SHIFF Montreal Utility Coat

Vintage SHIFF Montreal Utility Coat (c.1970s–1980s) Beautifully structured and full of character, this rare vintage SHIFF Montreal coat captures a utilitarian yet artful Canadian design aesthetic. Made from a heavyweight woven natural fiber — likely a linen or cotton canvas blend — it has the tactile, sturdy feel of a traditional workwear fabric softened over time. The design features contrasting panels of warm beige and soft brown, giving it a modern, color-blocked look decades ahead of its time. Snap-front closure, oversized collar, and an elongated silhouette add both practicality and sculptural presence. This coat fits a true medium, with room for layering underneath. It drapes beautifully and has that perfect balance of structure and slouch.
