The Classic Forties Chubby Fur

It's what every woman wants.  The wear-with-everything chubby fur jacket.  It was the most popular fur fashion trend of the 1940s.

A beautiful silver-dyed imported fox from the Chicago Mail Order Company.  You could purchase it for $49.95 cash or buy it on credit.  It also included a matching fur strip, to trim your own hat!


Two more from the Chicago Mail Order catalog.  On the left a silky, fluffy Guanaco fur.  A rich, mink-dyed Coney fur on the right.  These jackets easily go from daytime to evening with a simple change of accessories.


Color Deal Ivy Jordan

  2. Madamoiselle Jordan looks so very lovely in her luscious fur! No one could fear colder weather dressed as such! Mélissa, I have said it before, Mlle Jordan is lucky to found a most wonderful couturière as you! The look suits her to a T!
