[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 359967, member: 84"]I am hoping this falls under 'antique' (at least vintage!) because you guys have answered every question I'd posted here & I have no idea where else I can post about a ...mid century... fur coat that I found at a local thrift store today. It was only $19.95 and I thought it was cool when I saw it, but I knew it was cool when a lady in line behind me asked me if I wanted $40 for it right there + she would pay for the coat itself! It says made in Hong Kong so I am thinking it's from the '50's? What kind of fur is it? It's both straight and curly in different places (3rd photo)! I thought cashmere at first but I had a cashmere sweater before & it wasn't long lie this.
