Furricoat
By D. L. Ellis
of Auckland N.Z.
This coat is in incredible condition and the dark brown faux fur is soft and short like velvet and shiny with a subtle pattern as you can see in the photos. The edges are trimmed with a longer darker brown faux fur and there are two front invisible pockets. The coat is lined in the most gorgeous brown satin lining with a floral pattern and the buttons are a generous size too. So practical flattering and stylish.

This piece was sold on Instagram @butchwaxvintage. Now this, this takes my breath away. One of the most gorgeous 1940s hand embroidered glamour robes I’ve ever laid eyes on… The softest inky black velvet, lined in cream satin. Huge 1940s collar, wide long sleeves, and hip pockets. Ruffled pleated velvet trim around the collar and on the pockets. Pretty much immaculate condition. Fits many sizes due to wrap style. Literally can be worn by a 32 inch up to 48/50 inch bust, 53.5 inches total length. The original belt was missing, so a matching velvet one has been added and matches perfectly. I love the ultra feminine silhouette of this piece, the nipped waist with the full flowing skirt. And of course those amazing hand embroideries.
Alfred Shaheen (January 31, 1922 – December 22, 2008) was a textile industrialist who is credited with popularizing the Hawaiian Shirt.
“He was a true visionary,” said Linda Arthur, a professor and curator for the Washington State University Department of Apparel, Merchandising, Design and Textiles. “He started in a place (Hawaii) where there was no industry to speak of and created one from the ground up, creating a truly vertically integrated business.”
