Like their website says… “At Last” the famous inaugural coats will be offered in crewcuts line-up — coming this Fall. These are replicas of the coats worn by Sasha and Malia Obama on Inauguration day (Jan. 20, 2009).
The coats are currently available for pre-order, and all pre-orders will be fulfilled before the coats will be available for order on-line. They are not expected to be in stores.
I called the pre-order number to get the details. Note: the coats are only available in the colors shown:
Sasha’s Coat (shown on left):
- Name: Wool Pique Coat
- Color: Sweet Guava
- Sizes: 2 – 12
- Price: $168
*
Malia’s Coat (shown on right):
- Name: Double Cloth Coat
- Color: Bright Cobalt
- Sizes: 2 – 12
- Price: $235
*
The prices were lower than I expected. The representative I spoke with said that many orders are currently being placed daily for the coats.
I predict they may sell out (at least the most popular sizes) in advance, and they will be hot items on the resale market.
Here’s a memorable slideshow of Sasha and Malia from the Huffington Post wearing the coats (among other ensembles) at the Inauguration events.
