By the way I have seen this vintage sable at a furrier in Manchester (England). Can I ask peoples thoughts? Firstly it won't fit me so I will need to get it altered but Glyns are a furrier anyway so I guess they will sort.

It is £1,990 which is good for sable.

I cannot add a photo I am sorry.

Great for the price but it looks like a fitted 10, make sure the shoulders fit and the arms are wide enough at the top. You may not ever need to close it anyway, but also check it does close and feels comfortable.

I saw a nice sable bolero at Saks online. Price was $29,500 marked down to $14, 475. Description:
  • Elegant bolero in sumptuous tip-dyed sable
  • Fold-over collar
  • Short sleeves
  • Concealed front hook-and-eye closure
  • Silk lining
  • About 14" from shoulder to hem
  • Fur type: Tip-dyed sable
  • Fur origin: Russia

Are you thinking about it rose? Now is def a good time to buy. Soon many of the same furs may return to full price again. I've seen it happen many times.

Sounds incredible. Definitely a great investment.

Always wise words. [emoji10]

It's lovely PP. I know that furrier from a few years ago. Is the old guy still working their or is it his sons? Anyway, I am sure they will sort you out.
 
Hello, everyone. I have not posted on PF in a very long time. Forgive me if someone has mentioned this, but is there some reason why you rarely see a vertically cut sable on these pages or anywhere else these days? I like horizontally worked coats, too, but I still think vertical cuts are lovely and have more natural movement. To me, horizontally worked furs look best on very thin women.
 
^ No, this a lighter sable. Miroslava Duma has a couple of coats made of Barguzin.

I am no expert, but I did purchase a 3/4 J. Mendel Barguzin sable coat a few years ago. It is in a medium greyish or ash brown. I wanted that color because I already have a black Dennis Basso mink. It's my understanding that although the most expensive Barguzin sable is near black with a blueish caste, Barguzin sable comes in a number of colors. The number of silvery hair affects the price almost as much as the color of the fur.
Check out the professional sable pelt seller easyfur.com to see the variety of colors available in Sojuzpushnina Barguzin. Looking at the full pelt Without the distraction of fashion or a person wearing the coat gives a better idea of the true color.
