Ok, call me crazy but look what I found today.
One is in my budget, the other one is waaaayyyyy off. Both mink, one dyed (US), one natural Danish.
Purely for research purposes for now...

Just caught up with the dress up Thursday as was away from a computer. Very inspiring looks! Nice to see each lady’s style choice.
Controversially I actually like you in the diagonally worked first one, I think you can pull-off dramatic, glossy black too.
The other good thing I've noticed wearing jet black fur is it's much harder to tell if it's real and therefore I feel comfortable wearing anywhere, even to work.
@Cordeliere Sorry to hear about your health situation. Hope the knee surgery helps alleviate the current debilitating pain that you're in!
@papertiger Purple Pegase?Or the gold one perhaps?
Good news everyone, an owner of a purple Pegase d'H has kindly offered to lend me hers for the event so the scarf is sorted. Couldn't get any more perfect.
Yes the first one is diagonal pelts, jet black and US. Also 2.3x my budget even after 70% off.
. The length and shape are perfect for me. The brown one is in budget, but it’s not as much love other than the natural colour. It’s the closeup I posted. The jet black works better on me now that my own hair is more brown. When my hair was black, my black mink hat looked like a beefeater.
Oddly enough both of these felt less supple than my grey. Maybe because they are lined and mine is not? I need to try some more at a different furrier. A couple of the other ones at the store felt like chipboard backers from notepads, when I tried to fold the fur.

Thinking the black must be natural Blackglama then, I agree it looks amazing on you.
My advice is not to compromise on budget, style, or pelts. It's worth it in the end because I can guarantee the minute you buy an 'almost' coat you'll find exactly the one and won't have the funds leftover. Look at every furrier you can (good time of year). You can make offers too, they won't want to be left with new coats just to store over the Summer.
I have an unlined wild-type and it also feels more fluid than other that are lined. (it was designed as a trench so it needed to be). Furriers often leave natural colours unlined when they want to show the pelts are not dyed. Mine has fancy stitching inside to make a feature of the skin too though I'd still like mine lined. It looks like your jacket needs to be very supple for the style.
hi all, late to the party but I realized I actually did dress up-ish on Thursday. We went to dinner with my dad and I wore a version of this outfit. This pic is old but same ingredients
Chanel Paris Rome jacket, oversized Jil Sander button down and silk tie tied men’s style but you get the idea. I wore wide leg dark denim and Chanel two tone sling backs and lipstick! And carried my black Kelly 25.
Now that I’m working in a more relaxed atmosphere and working out daily, it’s going to be tough to dress but I’ll make an effort to do one real outfit a week for you guys. I can’t say it’ll be Thursday as my schedule is all over the place.
PS I keep saying I’m going to sell this jacket but then I wear it and love it. Now it’s back taunting me in the closet...
PSS sorry for bursting into the convo but i had missed 200 posts so I did my best to catch up

Love the whole look, fab, fab, fab. So glad you'll be joining the Thursday club
I don't think you should sell that jacket
You look great MsO! The Paris Rome looks great with the button up and pussy bow.
I would love to do a pussy bow while they are still in style but I just can’t deal with a button up. Is there any way to style one otherwise?
The black tag did say dyed mink, US origin. It was originally 20k CAD.
MsO - gorgeous! It’s a classic neutral jacket - a forever piece in my eyes.
Well for dyed mink I find that expensive.
The more you try on, the more you'll know exactly what you're looking for

Wow that is expensive. I agree wth papertiger, something better will come along, at a better price.The black tag did say dyed mink, US origin. It was originally 20k CAD.
