Thanks, TommySalieri!
It has arrived! I'm ready to rule the world from my heavily armed Zeppelin! There's nothing you can do to stop me! Muhahahaha!
Anyhow, here it is. A genuine piece of vintage that's actually big enough for my 6-foot 320 lb frame, and what a beauty it is! Please do click the thumbnails for the "big picture."
It weighs a good 8 or 9 pounds, and even with the air conditioning running, I had to snap those pictures fast to avoid heat exhaustion.
It is fully lined with fur, top to bottom and all the way to the end of the sleeves. The fur on the collar is a little different from the fur inside, a little thicker and nicer looking, but it's all nice. It has 8 buttons, but rather than buttonholes, there are elastic loops at the edges which hook over the buttons.
TommySalieri mentioned some smell, but the ride in the post office trucks in the 100+ degree heat over the past few days must have gotten rid of it. The fur lining needs some repair in spots, though. Have to find a fur shop worthy of this magnificent beast.
The winter temperatures here in the San Fernando Valley actually get down into the low 40s and even the upper 30s on occasion, so I will wear it every chance I get when that happens.
Thank you again, TommySalieri! You are a gentleman and a scholar! :eusa_clap
