Emerald Green Ruffled Mink Jacket with Peplum Hem 8411

Description

Furriers avoid the elbow-length sleeve, and the reason is ordinary: it uses nearly as much skin as a full one and gives back half the warmth, so it is the least efficient sleeve there is. It survives because of what it leaves visible. This emerald green ruffled mink jacket ends at the elbow in a gathered ruffle, and the whole forearm below it stays uncovered.

That is the sleeve for a bracelet, a cuff or a watch you actually want seen, and it is the only sleeve that never fights a long glove. It also settles the perennial problem of a fur sleeve in a warm restaurant, which is that there is nowhere to put it.

The colour is a deep jewel green rather than a bottle green — clear enough to read as a colour across a room, dark enough to wear with black. Cropped to the waist over a peplum frill. See our coloured furs, the rest of the mink jackets, and bring it in each spring for cleaning and cold storage.
