I love those 1930s coats! Big fur accents and slim lines.>>

I wonder if keeping the face and neck warm was enough for comfort? Those long slender lines look good, but there was nothing but the wool fabric to keep the body warm.

On the other hand, wool has been keeping creatures warm forever and humans warm for about 8,000 years. That's when people began to spin wool into yarn for knitting and weaving.

I remember winter coats with interlining of cotton, as well as the regular satin lining, so maybe they were quite all right with their slender coats!

It's 8 degrees F here in NJ, going to reach 20 if we're lucky. Hopefully, the cold weather will go away by next week. I don't mind winter being winter, but these single digit days keep me stuck at home.

In the movies of the 30s & 40s it seemed *every* woman wanted >>>

…a fur coat.
It always struck me as such a specific goal, seeming to be the epítome of class and stature, to own a fur. Wasn’t it the cliché to buy the woman with whom you were cheating a fur coat in those movies? At least, that’s how I remember it.
Maybe this was a reachable goal: a fur collar on a cloth coat?

in Britain there was a description of some 'type' of woman saying

they were all 'fur coat and no knickers' ...

Like Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8

I like your thinking! Good logic as that does seem within reach. >>

In Marsha Hunt's book, she talked about how no one thought twice about the ethics of wearing fur. Very different societal attitudes now.

During winter weather like we are having now, I would close my eyes to anyone's choice of how to dress for the cold.
