And this is my present to me! DH doesn't like the shorter length, but I kind of like it better, although the color of the other one is prettier
This is mink male blackglama, sheared.

Love the shorter length and you can wear it more I think. I am suffering from fur envy when I look at this thread because it is barely cold enough here for a couple of weeks in the winter for me to wear my mink coat. I don't think I wore it at all last year.

I like the length. It's sporty and can be worn daily in right temperature. I have several different length coats but I find for the everyday winter, I tend to grab the shorter ones. Beautiful on you!

Yummy! Sheared mink always reminds of the lovely velvety feel of my poodles after a trip to the grooms. Such a luxurious velvety texture.

Yes the fur does seem nicer on this one. Blackglama is very high end mink.

Thank you Flip! I was in my pijama [emoji17] but hope I'll have time to try them with appropriate clothes soon, sure they'll look much better.

Beautiful, I have not heard of 'silver blue' before. It really is stunning.

Blackglama .... love this!!! Hope you get a lot of wear out of it. It deserves that.

Yes! Like velvet, sheared mink is also less 'obviously a fur'. I must admit though I like my furs to look like fur. I have just bought a rabbit coat which has the suede on the outside and the fur on the inside but you can definitely tell it's fur around the edges.

The downside of warm weather I suppose. Hope it cools down for you [emoji38]

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg @papertiger and other mink-experts - what do you think of this Valentino mink jacket? It's most likely a couple of seasons old, unlined, faced with goat leather (?) and dyed mink, of Finnish origin. I was looking for a casual, short jacket but have never seen one without a satin lining. You can see the natural lining on the collar.

Any thoughts on what would be a reasonable price for it? And what should I look for regarding condition and quality?

It's still pretty hot here so it felt so strange trying it on.

Thanks in advance.

The ones in the last 2 photos really look like mink and I like that. The first photo has more modern colours but I sometimes that modern colours disguise the fact it's mink.

I do like the grey mink. If you already have the traditional color, it's a very pretty neutral.

Love this picture! I was with my mother when she saw it and it made her feel so good - the coat of hers that I did not have altered looks exactly like this color, black cross mink. We are going to have it fixed and altered a bit for her as she has moved in. She was worried that the fur might look a bit dated, so it was a relief to see this in Bazaar!

Love both of these! The first one is so pretty and feminine, but I think you'll find that you will wear the shorter one more.
