THIS BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE MOUTON COAT WAS ACQUIRED AT AN ESTATE SALE IN AN UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS GENUINE SHEARED MOUTON. IT DOES NOT HAVE A FURRIER TAG INSIDE,WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS FROM BEFORE 1951(ALL GENUINE FURS MADE IN THE U.S. WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS TAG FROM 1951-),ALSO MOUTON WAS A POPULAR CHOICE DURING THE TIME PERIOD. IT IS FROM MACY'S OF NEW YORK AND HAS THE MACY'S TAG INSIDE. IT IS A MAHOGANY BROWN. IT IS AMAZINGLY SMOOTH, SOFT AND FEELS LIKE SILK. IT IS IN MINT CONDITION - WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE FLAWS(IT TRULY LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS PURCHASED YESTERDAY). I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SIZE WOULD BE, BECAUSE IT HAS NO SIZE TAG. I AM AN EXTRA LARGE AND IT FIT ME BUT,IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. I WOULD GUESS THAT IT WOULD BE A MEDIUM OR LARGE. I'M PROVIDING MEASUREMENTS AND IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FURTHER MEASUREMENTS JUST SEND ME YOUR REQUEST VIA EMAIL. THE ARM LENGTH IS 23 INCHES FROM SHOULDER TO CUFF. FROM ARMPIT TO ARMPIT IT MEASURES 22 INCHES AT ITS WIDEST PART IT IS 24 INCHES WIDE. IT IS 40 INCHES LONG IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL SATIN LINING THAT IS SEWN SHUT COMPLETELY WITH ONLY A SMALL 1 INCH OPENING NEAR THE COLLAR, WHICH WAS NESSASARY TO CONFIRM THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE MINK. IT HAS 2 HIDDEN, SLANTED POCKETS(ONE ON EACH SIDE). IT HAS LARGE, ROOMY SLEEVES. THE FUR DOES NOT END AT THE END OF THE CUFF BUT, CONTINUES A FULL 2 INCHES INSIDE THE SLEEVE. ALSO, THE SATIN LINING GATHERS AT THE WRIST FOR EXTRA WARMTH. THIS COAT IS OF THE FINEST QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF WHICH IS RARELY SEEN TODAY.

The term ‘mouton’ (pronounced MOO-tawn) originates from the French word for mutton
and in the fur industry, refers to pelts from lambs or sheep. But if
what springs to mind is the puffy, cotton-wool texture of a sheepskin
rug or car seat cover, you're in for a shock. Mouton is a high-grade
lambskin that’s specially processed to mimic the density and radiance
of sheared beaver or mink fur. The wool fibers of a mouton pelt are
straight, not curly. Sheared to an even ½ inch depth, mouton is very
plush and has a soft, velvety feel. With its glowing highlights
and natural sheen, high quality mouton can easily be mistaken for much
more expensive type of fur.
The moral issue of wearing fur is negligible when considering
mouton. Any anti-fur advocate whose worn sheepskin slippers or has
eaten a lamb chop can't complain about mouton fur. Sheep are domestic
animals raised for meat and sheepskin pelts used for clothing is
accepted by all but the most extreme animal rights activists. Because
of its uniform depth and color, at first glance people often
mistake mouton as being an imitation fur. But the luxurious, silky
feel of mouton is unmistakably genuine fur and irresistible. More
importantly, the wearer knows their garment is ‘the real thing’ and a
politically correct choice.
There are also practical considerations for choosing mouton fur.
Because of its weight and density, mouton is hands-down, the coziest,
warmest fur coat you can buy. Other furs are made with an inner lining
of wool or flannel for warmth; not so with mouton lamb. Even the
harshest winter wind can't cut through a mouton pelt. Unlike mink and
more delicate long-haired furs such as raccoon, mouton is a very
sturdy, durable fur. Get caught in a rainstorm wearing a fox fur and
you could be in trouble. That's not the case with mouton, because
water tends to simply bead up on a mouton pelt.
