Vintage White Fox Fur Pelt Stole 20s 30s Hollywood Glam VFG
From the mid 1920s through the 1950s, the height of elegance for a fashionable woman was a white fox fur stole like this one. It is a single pelt, and so very soft!
FUR: I believe this is arctic fox fur. It has a thick undercoat and long soft fluffy guard hairs
SIZE:
The pelt measures 46" from tip of nose to tip of tail, and up to 5" wide, not counting the length of the fur.
TAG: No tags
CLOSURES: The fur can be secured in place using the linked celluloid chain attached to a front leg and back leg, each ending with a crochet covered wooden beads with a snap at the end. There is also a crochet covered alligator clip under the fox's chin.
CONDITION: There are some wear areas to the tail - see closeup. Arcic foxes change color with the season. The undercoat on the tail is a light gray, so is a bit more noticeable there. There is also 5-5" of open seaming under both of the front legs - see closeup. It is not visible unless you separate the fur there and look closely, and the underlying hide is not torn. Hide feels supple overall.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
