This is a beautiful Autumn Haze mink and leather combination jacket with a fur collar and lapel. The lining is luxurious. It is made for a very petite size woman. Vintage fur is now considered okay with PETA.
The mink fur for this jacket originally came from Japan in the 1950's. It was purchased in Ohio, as a cape, by my grandfather for my grandmother. I have the original receipt. My mother had it made into a leather and fur jacket in 1980. The furrier who designed and made the jacket is Sam Gershonovitch of Fashion Furs in Woodland Hills, CA. The insurance replacement value in 1984 was $1,850.00. I am afraid my camera does not do justice to the beauty of the jacket.
The jacket is in good condition and is approximately a size 2 Petite. The measurements are:
Collar to bottom: 23 1/2"
Sleeve: 21"
Shoulder to shoulder: 14 1/2 "
Thank you for looking.
