DESCRIPTION & NOTES

Mink fur jacket with white fox trim.  Brand is "Miss O" Oscar de la Renta. Color is white (see scale below).  Size is Medium.  Overall condition is Outstanding (see table below). There are no rips, tears, or odors.  See additional details below.  

Regarding color, pretty much all vintage white mink will start to yellow a bit.  I included a picture that contrasts the color of the shrug with a pure white fox fur.  Keep in mind this photo is in bright light and showing a direct contrast.  The shrug will appear white in darker lighting contrasted with darker colors.  Another reason the mink will not appear "pure white" is the slight natural browns and grays from the mink fur itself.  Still more "white" than "off-white" according to my scale below.

SIZING
  • OVERALL. Fur coats do not come in standard sizes - each measures a little differently.  Compare the measurements of this garment to another coat using a tape measure.  Furs should not fit too tightly - a little larger than your regular cloth jacket is fine. 
  • ADJUSTMENTS.   If the coat is close to your size, some easy and inexpensive adjustments can often be made to make a perfect fit.  Hooks can be moved in or out an inch or two or more.  Sleeves can sometimes be lengthened or shortened by a few inches if there is extra fur.  
  • BUST & SHOULDERS.  The overall size is based on the bust size (see chart in image).  The other critical size to measure for a good fit is the shoulder width - since it is harder to adjust.  
VALUE 
  • PRICING.  I'm looking to sell at a fair value.  Generally, the furs are priced at around 10-20% or less for what a similar new coat would cost, and around 50% the price you would find at a consignment shop.  And FREE SHIPPING!  
  • SAVINGS.  The biggest barrier for most shoppers is not being able to try the coat on.  But if you are willing to take some measurements and compare them to the listing, you can save a lot and find a great deal!  
  • SHIPPING.  Yes!, I can ship internationally.  Allow for a little extra time.  Consider shipping to someone you know in the US, and having them ship it to you as well.  
  • CONSULTATIONS.  Happy to provide advice for gift giving, size recommendations, style notes, etc.  
  • RISK FREE.  Will accept returns of coat within 30 days.  I will pick up shipping costs (for orders > $150) -- you are out nothing.  Return item in original condition. 
  • WISH LIST.  I come across new coats all the time.  Let me know what type of coat you are looking for (your size, style, etc), and I can alert you when I have something you might like.
