The Dating Game #2: Wool & Fur Coat - Late \'30s?

Item #2....

This is a tan coat sporting a "Julliard" 100% virgin wool label and an older style National Recovery Board label. The style looks late '30s/early '40s to me - do you agree?

I'm not sure what type of fur it is. It's very, very, very soft and very dense. It reminds me of the pet rabbit I had when I was a kid, but I'm not sure it's rabbit.

The coat has an all-over layer of dust - I think from storage. It's wearable as is, but it would look a lot spiffier if cleaned. I'm thinking about taking it to a drycleaner who does fur, if I can ever find one, but I'm a little afraid of it being damaged. Any advice?

I think you could use American New Look for this one, too - the waisted, curvy body and full skirt should qualify. It's the square shoulders that make it American.

Plus it's a very pretty coat.

I was thinking "new look" also with that silhouette. Gorgeous coat.

Not sure what the fur is - I have cuffs that are the very same, super
soft and I can't figure out what they are.

Thank you for the date help! I should have no better - it is <i>so</i> New Look, and I don't know why I thought earlier. :baguse:
