@diane060 Omgosh. I swear I just saw you question, I'm so sorry about that. š³š This is a female mink. My mother in law is modeling it for me and it fits her a bit small.

@meybaby I realize it's vintage. But are there many spots with fur loss? There seems to be something going on with the collar depicted in both the left and right?

@meybaby and is it monogrammed on the lining?

@chicagocitygirl Hello! š I can definitely answer your questions, as soon as I'm home to check it all later today. I honestly don't recall any fur loss, but, I like to double check before giving the final answer, especially in vintage items like these. So, I will get back to you soon! Thank you for your questions and interest. šš¦š

@chicagocitygirl Hello! Thank you so much for your patience. Here is the information you requested:
Shoulder width across back is 15-16 inches (from sleeve seam to sleeve seam but I do believe the seams do not define the shoulder width meaning itās more like 17-18 inches?).Ā Ā Measurement under the armhole all the way around is 38-40 inches.Ā Ā Length from collar seam on back to bottom is 47ā.

@chicagocitygirl My MIL & I looked the fur over and we both found no fur loss anywhere. I believe the picture may look like that because of a combination of lighting and me touching the fur in that area and not realizing the fur had weird shadowing that makes it look funny. I have another picture of the collar area not
Showing that just taken this morning. I apologize for the lighting. It's at my MIL house and I'm not familiar with the light sweet spot as I am at my home.

@chicagocitygirl the only thing we see inside is the label that says itās black willow.Ā
Also, just an FYI, this coat was donated to my Alma Matter (Concordia University- Irvine) by a VERY wealthy lady from Rancho Santa Fe, CA. This was a gift from her husband & only she has worn it. She has an amazing sense of style. She's almost 90 & still wears Prada, Chanel, etc. š Since she has no heirs she is slowly donating her priced possessions.

@chicagocitygirl The funds from this sale will go to Concordia University. My FIL is the school President so that's why it's at their house & why I'm helping sell it.
I know that's probably TMI, but I thought some history on the coat would help. ššš¦š

@chicagocitygirl Not a problem! It truly is beautiful. š I'm debating on saving up & buying it for myself. š But it's rarely cold enough in California. š©

@meybaby not TMI at all. I collect antique furniture as well and very much appreciate the history of someone's prized possessions & try to take care of them as they would have wanted. I really appreciate the measurements; they are vital to knowing if a piece will work for me.

@meybaby I'm a bit busty so the measurement around the chest would be a bit tight (I'm a 44), I'd have to add skins for the mink to fit around that area. I've never had to enlarge a fur, so I'll have to look into that & see if it would be a cost effective choice to purchase or not.

@chicagocitygirl No worries at all. And so glad to hear you understand the value of & history of vintage items. It will be interesting to find out how much it would cost to do that. Please feel free to ask any other questions at any time. ššš¦š
