Nautica Kelly Green Cropped Swing Trench Coat / Utility Jacket
Nautica · Clothing & Accessories > Outerwear > Jackets
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to Early 2010s. The blue woven neck tag and sizing font are indicative of this period's retail production.
Material
Cotton blend (likely cotton/nylon or 100% cotton canvas/twill). High-quality mid-weight fabric with plastic faux-horn buttons and metal rivet accents.
Condition
Very Good. The color appears vibrant with no visible staining or fading. Hand-feel seems crisp. Minor wrinkling from storage, but no pilling or frayed seams are visible in the image.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. This specific shade of green is currently trending ('Brat' or 'Kelly Green' aesthetic), making it faster to move than navy or beige in the same style.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark or Depop (best for trendy colors/styles); eBay (good for brand-specific searches); Mercari (fast-paced sales).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Mod', 'Preppy', 'Streetwear', 'Kelly Green', 'Cropped Trench', and 'Spring Outerwear'. Photograph it on a mannequin if possible to show the 'swing' shape, as it looks flat on a hanger. Mention it is 'lightweight' and 'perfect for layering'.
