I got this 1/2 off at the Black Friday thrift sale. I have NO CLUE what it is. It looks like something you would wear where reindeer live. Lapland? I'm not sure why I got it, I just thought it was so unusual. It ties in the front and has a string/tie dangling from the hood point. The fabric is pretty heavy, feels like maybe some kind of wool? The "fur/hair" on the outside is a bit scratchy. I'm second guessing myself in picking this up lol. I don't even know how to start researching it so any help is greatly appreciated

I'm getting an Icelandic vibe from it, but that's just a guess. I'm sure Chap or Betty or another with expertise will come along. It is a nice coat!

I agree with Iceland or somewhere with extreme cold winters- it looks super warm and I LOVE that pointy hood!

Looks more Moroccan/Berber to me - I've sold heavy djellaba like that, as well as things from northern Iran, Caucasus, etc. Heavy wool hooded coats with that construction, the hood and tassel feature. But that's just a guess.

But that's just a guess. Thank you so much! I way off the mark. I was also thinking Icelandic (hence the reindeer and Lapland comment lol) I have no knowledge whatsoever of any cultural clothing and now I am much more informed to research this. It is very well made, very good quality. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. In all honesty I don't think I wouldn't have purchased this if it hadn't been in the back of my mind that I could ask for help here. I was Googling Lapland, Eskimo, you name it. WAY OFF! I really appreciate your help |

You are welcome! I used to find those types of coats a lot more often than I do now, sadly. They probably just get put online now.
