Description
In the 1920s and 30s, fashionable full-length fur coats were popular with both men and women. The practice of wearing longer fur coats for warmth was not unique to this era, but fashion furs-- in varied styles and lengths-- expanded beyond practical use.
A woman wearing leopard fur stands at left. The double-breasted men’s coat may be fox fur, as noted by the collar’s pattern.
