I wonder since I know relatives of that era (born in the 20s) still have multiple furs in their closets…so what does one do with old fur coats?

I bet they’re unbelievably warm. Stylish before PETA but if worn today is there still a chance someone will spray paint your coat?

I have a gorgeous coat from the 20s made of seal fur that was passed down from my great, great grandmother. I don't want to think about how it was made, but damn if it isn't the warmest and most stylish coat I've ever owned.

Only take her out on special occasions though, she's starting to fall apart so I need to find a repair shop that can save the fur.
