A big thank you. Yes one is enough...I suppose. Ha!
Shall we just settle for o at a time
My vintage Revillon sable in action. . . buying kitty litter at Walmart. ☺
OMG that is gorgeous and at Walmart buying Kitty litter!!! It's really nice.
Thank you! I love, love, love vintage furs and I'll wear them just about anywhere - no special occasion required!
Only in selfie action, but here's a vintage I. Magnin jaguar jacket (a gift from my neighbor, the original owner) with sable collar and cuffs (added by me).

Spectacular! I’m with you in wearing them wherever. Why not? You look wonderful.
Oh my I missed this initially. I love this fur and how interesting you felt confident to add a sable to it yourself. I assume a furrier did it? I do love these fur types and I would absolutely love something made from Jaguar!!
Jaguar is really beautiful. I actually did this modification myself. The nearest furrier is more than 2 hours away. I had to line the cuffs and add to the lining of the sleeves because I let down their "hems". It was difficult... I really don't sew and there were many broken needles and sore, punctured fingers!

Oh well done. You have such a talent. This reminds me of the 'get crafty' thread (anyone remember that??) where people were getting Hermes ribbon and fox fur pieces and made amazing creations for very little cost. Anyway, we'll done and I love what you have done. Where did you get the pieces of sable from??
This was the transformation. It's all very securely hand stitched and can be removed, if desired (except for the black fabric edging which I discarded).
I harvested the sable from an unwearable Bill Blass piece I snagged cheap on eBay. When I lived in LA I took my vinties to David Appel in BH for rehab. I moved away, but didn't stop collecting old furs, so I have to make do! This is the transformation. The woman who gave me the jacket is 94 years old and amazing - she looks incredible!
