The perfect outfit for winter - Nettie Mermelstein looking stylish and warm!

Wonder how many animals had to die to make that coat?!

Fur was common back then. People needed to stay warm.

Not sure. Fake fur was invented in 1929 ish, according to Wikipedia, and started being used more heavily in the 1950's.

My favorite reply, wonder how many animals she had to sleep with to get that coat.

Hey I'm a Boerner just noticed the name. There is not very many of us.

They didn't have synthretic fabrics in those days. Choices were leather, fur, cotton, wool or other natural fabrics.

True, it was a different time back then . I have a fur coat which belonged to a great Aunt . The coat must be close to 80 or 90 yrs old. Not sure what kind of fur it is.. ( I think Beaver with mink cuffs. ) warmest coat ever but no way in hell would I wear it now .

Get off the soap box about times before you were born into your luxery heated and cooled home.

Molly Bobbiette Teel, before criticizing someone, perhaps you should learn to spell. I was merely posing a rhetorical question.

What is the item called that she's warming her hands in? I've always loved those. I think I also saw it in Dr. Zhivago.

This is a beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing it.

Totally agree, fur is worn by beautiful animals, and ugly people. Why anyone would want to wear someone else's skin is beyond me. It's all very Hannibal Lecter.

Yeah that pastime is disgusting too. About time everyone evolved. We don't need to eat animals to survive.

I don't understand the website ancientfaces...
it seems to be asking me to pay for photos and information.
When I search for a photo of a surname, it directs me to a list of 4k people.
When I scroll through the first page and then click on NEXT
it takes me back to the first page.

You got to remember during this era wearing fur was ok. There was no PETA back then.

I'm sorry, I know it took you 3 months to write that, but I'm not sure what 'get over the fur s***' means?
If it's that we need to get over the fact that people rip the fur from animals who are still alive and screaming, just so they can wear them as a coat, then I'm afraid no, I won't be 'getting over the fur s***' anytime soon.
