'Real' coats to wear outside to walk or play in



Fake fur is a standard item in Barbie and family coats.  These four items, while brightly colored, are more practical and can be worn for dressing up or more casual situations, such as building a snowman.  From left to right are

Talking Busy Barbie in 3336 Furry N Fun coat and boots, with 3360 Pleasantly Peasantry gown hidden under the coat, all from 1972.

Brunette Twist N Turn Barbie in 1491 Red, White N Warm, both from 1969.

Live Action Barbie in 3429 Cold Snap, both from 1971, wearing 1461 Anti Freezers from 1970 underneath, including its yellow boots.

blonde Twist N Turn Francie in 1245 Snake Charmers, both from 1970.  I wanted this outfit as a little girl and it was one of the first I acquired as an adult collector.

The snowman is wearing the red scarf from Barbie's 3408 Super Scarf from 1971 and the gray top hat from Ken's 1860 Pleasant Manor from 1987.
