BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 My mum had a short fur jacket to wear when she got married. I still have it, all carefully wrapped. I did wear it a few times way back in the times when it was not politically incorrect. It kept me very warm! I felt OK about it because the animals died long before I was born and the mammal population balance was very different in those times. Now it is a part of my social history. There is a Galerie Lafayette in Paris. An amazing store. I did not see fur coats when we went there but I did manage to try on clothes and do all the simple conversation using my recollection of GCE French from BGS. All too expensive for me but I did have some fun! I guess the shop in Nottingham picked the name to make it sound good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I bought a second hand ladies fur jacket off Sneinton Market around the mid 60's in my hippie days. Cheesecloth shirt and purple flared cords with Paisley inserts. No wonder dad cringed when I went out. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
