Teddy Coat - should I get one?

NotTooOld

Incidentally, what sort of an animal is a beaver lamb? Anyone know? I expect it's banned now, as a coat that is. Maybe there are herds of beaver lambs roaming about freely in somewhere like Mongolia.

It's lamb skin, presumably dyed and no, it's not at all like beaver fur.
Astrakhan is also lamb skin think.

I have two Teddy coats, I have had them for a couple of years. They wash well in the washing machine, and look just as good when they come out , also they dry very quickly. I am in my late 70s, medium build, and everyone always say how good my coats looks. They are cosy but in very cold weather, such as February you will have to wear something warm underneath it. I have see all sorts of shapes and sizes wearing these coats, I really dont think people notice each other that much. They are more attractive to look at than padded coats. But this time of year and for a couple of months or so Teddy coats are more attractive. Do get one you will love it,

My French friend says ‘Nevair buy ze teddy coat Holly, nevair!”
So I didn’t. (5’4” not skinny)
Now my daughter, 5’8” very slim, is a different matter. I sometimes try her things on and I look ridiculous.
