Finding the Right Coats-outerwear for You
There is a stylish garment for anywhere in the universe, and on 1stDibs, finding the right vintage and designer coats and outerwear doesn’t have to feel like a journey to the ends of the earth.
Outerwear includes many types of garments aside from the standard coat. From capes, gilets, jackets and cloaks to raincoats and kimonos, fashion designers have long been preparing us for the elements, and outerwear in general has changed and evolved significantly over time.
A lot of the coat styles in our closets, such as the durable Navy-inspired peacoat, were popularized by soldiers who battled aggressive climes in their regulation field jackets and parkas — indeed, keeping troopers comfortable guided the design of the military surplus garments that have often become buzzy fashion trends. Even today, owing to the likes of Burberry, a luxury fashion house that is among the originators of the trench coat worn by British officers during World War I, the trench remains a timeless style, now available in a range of colors that can be worn throughout the year.
While women in late 1700s England donned an adaptation of a men’s jacket called a spencer — the likeness of which could be spotted in Ralph Lauren’s ready-to-wear collections hundreds of years later — designers hadn’t widely been crafting outerwear specifically for women. Generally, the outerwear of choice for the fashionable, well-heeled lady prior to the 1800s usually consisted of capes, shawls and stoles. By the mid-1800s, women were wearing overcoats with multiple layered collars popularized by men (often called a Garrick coat in England), and as women entered the workforce during the 1920s, hemlines climbed, jewelry was prominent and fashion conventions were broken across the board.
Thankfully, the 20th century’s tradition of challenging the norm continues steadfast in today’s outerwear fashions. Contemporary designers certainly find inspiration in 1960s and 1970s coats by Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent and Bonnie Cashin, but unisex options abound in modern creations that take both function and style into account. Find what inspires you in the full range of vintage and designer coats and outerwear available for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About 1940 Fur Coat
- Are fur coats illegal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, fur coats are not illegal, but there are heavy regulations around what kind of fur can be imported or exported. The U.S. has strict laws banning the use of dog and cat fur. Most fur sold by high fashion brands is mink, fox or rabbit. Shop a selection of fur coats on 1stDibs.
- What is a sheared fur coat?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sheared fur coat is a coat where the fur is trimmed for a desired look or length. Some furs are sheared to remove the guard hairs for a more attractive look, while some furs are sheared to achieve a desired shape. Shop a range of fur goods on 1stDibs.
- What is white fur coat made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A white fur coat can be made of any animal that has white fur. The underbelly of a lynx is white with long hairs, so it is very desirable but also rare and expensive. Other animals that are commonly used for furs are mink, rabbits, chinchilla, fox and sable. Shop a collection of fur coats from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, old fur coats can be worth something. The value of vintage fur coats depends on quality, condition, and fur type.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A full belly lynx coat can cost from $30,000 to $100,000. White lynx fur is the most expensive one and the coats made out of it are the rarest. Shop a range of vintage and designer fur coats on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024To find out how much your fur coat is worth, you can conduct some research using trusted online resources. The value of a fur coat will depend on factors like its age, maker, materials and style. By seeing how much similar pieces sold for in the past, you can get a rough idea of how much your coat may be worth.
For a more specific estimated value, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. How much a mink coat is worth can also see fluctuations owing to societal and cultural factors such as a shift in attitudes with respect to the use of animal fur in the fashion industry.
On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of fur coats. - Are fur coats still sold today?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, people still buy fur coats. While fur coats were once seen as a ubiquitous luxury item, they don’t quite have that level of cache today. However, people do still buy new and vintage furs for their warmth and luxe feel. Interestingly, fur farming has been banned in many countries. In 2019, the sale of new fur items in California was banned and other states are considering fur bans. Shop a collection of fur coats from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024To tell if a fur coat is good quality, first consider materials. High-quality pieces often feature fine furs, such as sable, mink, chinchilla or lynx, along with silk lining. Similarly, buttons are usually made of shell, mother of pearl, metal or other premium materials rather than plastic. Workmanship can also signify quality. Stitching should be even, aligned and tight, and at least some of the work will typically be done by hand on the finest pieces. Reading reviews of the maker's pieces can also be beneficial when comparing fur coats. Explore a collection of fur coats on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The worth of a white fox fur coat can vary a great deal depending on the quality. The prices can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. sShop a variety of white fox fur coats on 1stDibs.
