Buyer's Premium:

A mid-length vintage jacket constructed from dyed real fur in a deep burgundy shade. The texture and the specific shedding warning on the internal care label are characteristic of rabbit fur. The garment features a boxy silhouette typical of the late 20th century, with wide notched lapels and full-length sleeves. It is finished with a matching burgundy synthetic lining. Two textile labels are present within the lining. The first label contains care instructions and identifies the material as real fur, noting it will shed, and includes a distributor address for Imperial Drive, Rayners Lane, Harrow, UK. The second label is partially obscured but indicates the garment was Made in Hong Kong. No external closures are visible, indicating the use of concealed furrier hooks and eyes.


Condition report:

The jacket is in good vintage condition. The fur remains lush and dense across the body and sleeves with no visible areas of balding or significant wear. The interior lining is intact, though the textile labels show age-related yellowing and some light staining. The shedding mentioned on the label is a natural characteristic of this fur type and not a defect.
