Clothing has the ability to do many a favor for a woman; From the fundamentals like protecting you from the elements to kind acts of generosity like flattening your tummy bulge. Clothing also does things for the mood. Need proof? Put on a Laura Ashley dress and see if you don't feel like putting on insipid old Ray Conniff records and asking your husband to slow dance with you in the freaking living room. If he is cool (which is why you married the man), he'll walk away without honoring your request and come back with this coat. "Put it on - you're not yourself tonight, honey." The minute that wretched lace is off your body and you're back in your ballsy coat, the sound of Ray hits you like a wall of bricks, "Jesus Christ - who put this crap on?" and rip the needle right across the surface of the record. Night and day and all because of a simple layer of clothing. Laura Ashley is actually manufactured in the town of Stepford, which explains why women who like that stuff act so weird. But we'll stay in the next town, accepting all cast-offs from funky women who have gone on to become lobotomized clones. That's right - eyelet for her - patterned mink for you! Brown sugar and vanilla mink and bittersweet chocolate seal fur trimmed in dark brown leather. Well-pieced, the patterns all come together toward the center of the coat. Funky as the day is long, there will be no Ray Conniff in this bad boy - only Sergio Mendes and a gin Gimlet on the rocks. Lined in a wacky caramel and navy print acetate, this is double breasted and belts with a matching leather sash. Bust measures 38", shoulder to shoulder 16.5", outer sleeve 23.5" and length 39". Excellent condition with the exception of a missing button (out of four) which are buried in the fur. sold |
