This is such a fabulous jacket.
Made in the 1940's, this boxy short jacket is made from beaver lamb which has been dyed to imitate leopard skin.
It has a neat stand up collar, is fully lined and fastens at the waist with a fur hook. It looks great worn open or fastened closed. The pile is deep and the jacket is lovely and warm.

Very good with some minor points to note;

- the jacket has a slight perfume smell to it which will lessen when worn.
