Wow! I never knew about the make/female construction for coats. Why the different construction with the lining? I don't have furs myself but this was interesting.
I know that "we" have been beat into shame about wearing real pelts but I love to see beautiful furs. I remember back in the 1970's a very tall, elegant senior aged lady wore her new Christmas ensemble that her husband had given her. It was a full length white mink coat with a matching pill box hat. Wow! That was a gorgeous set!
