Faux Lamb Jacket, Faux Fur Jacket, Black Jacket, Vintage Clothing, Real Fur Collar, Gift for Her, Anniversary Gift

High society delighted in furs. The runways are now promoting fur again.
The Winter label indicates the name of the business was Winter Furs, Inc. at 224 West 30th St. in New York City. It is reasonable to assume the Winter part of the name refers to the season, but it seems to also derive its name from one of the principals of the company, Jack Winter. This label was used in the 1960s.
The jacket is faux lamb, but the collar is real fur.

In 1960 Winter Furs, Inc. advertised they had available the Glensea shortee jacket from Glenoit Mills, Inc. in NY, which was apparently a fake fur jacket. In 1961 a Winter Furs, Inc. ad appeared for a waist-length and elbow-length sleeved fake fur jacket—trimmed with real fur at the collar—while also continuing to sell real fur items. Of note was a 1961 advertisement invitation to come to a local store to consult with Mark Benson, fashion and fur authority from Winter Furs, Inc.

This adorable piece is a short jacket. It has two front pockets that are trimmed in black file. This is a BLACK faux fur. It is faux lamb, called mouton. It is sheared which means that it is not fluffy. IMPORTANT: It looks grey but that is only because we used heavy lights to photograph it closely so that you could see the seams, texture and pockets. It is NOT GRAY. It is Black. The color is black mink.
There are three buttons down the front. The sleeves are meant to be 3/4.

The piece has a black fabric lining. From the neckline to the bottom is 21.5". This is probably a medium, today's 8 or 10.
It is 22" from the collar over the should to the sleeve cuff. The horizontal pockets are 4.75" across and 3.5" deep. Down the front from the collar and over the buttons, it is 16".
The jacket is in excellent condition.
The lining too is in good condition. There are no tears or fading.

This appears to be a medium size and it has an M on the label. But sizes at that time were a little different than they are today. Please read the measurements. We are not experts at sizing. It is suggested that you compare measurements from one of your coats to our measurements to gauge the fit.

This piece was obtained from a home where it has been well cared for. It is in excellent condition. The fur is soft and supple.
