Hello , This Vintage Fashion Guild Forum is very informative and educational. I am a reader of this forum and it is full of wonderful people and experts.
My wife got this long coat from my aunt. My aunt got that as a gift from a Japanese friend few years back. The coat is dark brown /walnut /brunette color and the outer surface feels like suede. The inner surface got a furry layer which I think is sheepskin shearling, each hair is about 1cm long. In the collar area it got some long fur. The fur is chocolate in color and about 1- 1.25 inch long. It is very plush to touch. Feels very soft and smooth. The leather surface where the fur is attached, I examined. The fur is directly attached to the surface and there is no net/cloth like structure. Each hair individually is very thin and somewhat singed like in appearance .
I could find only one label there attached to the underside of right pocket. Maybe there were some more labels which went missing now. There is only one tag saying Made in Spain. No more hangtags and nothing written on the buttons. The size says 40. I attached some photos for better understanding.
Can you please help me to know some more about this long coat? Is it real fur or faux? If real then what possibly the animal can be? Is it shearling sheepskin suede? Who could be the probable maker of this garment? What's the handwriting says in the label?
I will be very glad if you please help me regarding this. Without your help it is impossible for me. Thanks and regards in advance.
