Vintage Russel Taylor faux Persian lamb black swing coat fur collar XL 1940's?

Description: Gorgeous Russel Taylor black faux Persian lamb swing coat with long hair black mink fur collar (could be mink, might be faux). Dramatic and perfect for both everyday wear and for that special occasion when a down parka just won't work! Fantastic details- lining, pockets, fancy buttons down the front, elasticized cuffs on the lining to keep out the cold. Raglan sleeve. Deep pockets- you'll be able to fit gloves, keys, phone and a lipstick no problem. Tag says fur clean only-- which is why even though the body of the coat is synthetic, I suspect the collar might be genuine longhair mink. Either way, this is a genuine vintage item in great condition. No funky smells, no stains. Stored in a smoke free/pet free home and going straight from my closet to yours. These coats go for hundreds at vintage clothing stores! Three special things to note- the buttons (three of them, black, see the close up) are subtle and gorgeous. And the fur collar has actual fur clips (they are invisible whether you use them or not because they're covered by the fur pile) so you can wear the collar open, or cinched tight against the cold. Marvelous detail like the finest garments! And finally- the Union Label! Made in America by American garment workers. Worried about sustainability? Buy vintage. Worried about overseas sweatshops with exploited workers in unsafe conditions? Buy ILGWU! Check the measurements since there is no size tag inside: Chest- measured right under where the sleeve bottom meets the bodice- 23" side to side Bottom sweep- 33" side to side with the coat buttoned completely Shoulder to shoulder at the top- 17" side to side Sleeve length- 22 inches from the top of the sleeve to the wrist Length- 40 inches from the top of the back collar to the hem All measurements approximate using a tailors measuring tape This is not sized for a small woman- it's both big (measurement wise) and dramatic with the large swing. Check my ratings-I ship quickly and I don't sell fakes.I wear a 14 in coats, and this is big on me (room for a cocktail suit with shoulder pads underneath). But go by the measurements. This is not a fast-fashion shoddy garment- you can see from the seams how beautifully constructed this is and it will take you through many winters! Need more pictures? Just ask. Questions? Just ask. If you've been looking at vintage faux fur and wondering if you can get perfume smells or makeup stains out of a 70+ year old garment- stop wondering. This coat is clean as a whistle. There is some wear on the inside of the back neck (not the mink part, but the Persian lamb part) which I've tried to show in the last photo. It is not visible when the coat is on- either buttoned or unbuttonned. Please ask questions if you are concerned about buying vintage! I have estimated the age based on old photos.... International orders will pay a shipping upcharge to cover the extra costs. The fees will depend on your location.....
