Description
A red fox coat with tails means exactly that: the brushes are left on. They hang at the hem in a row, each one banded dark and tipped white, and they move independently of the coat when you walk. It is the oldest showpiece in the trade and almost nobody makes it any more.
This red fox coat with tails is natural throughout — gold through rust with black guard hair standing proud of the underfur, undyed. Full length to the ankle, deep shawl collar, no fastening. Was $15,813, now $6,319.
Tails are difficult rather than merely expensive. Each has to be matched to its neighbour for length and banding or the row reads as ragged, and the hem has to carry the weight without dragging. That work is the whole reason a red fox coat with tails costs what it does, and it is why this one is a single piece rather than a style we can repeat.
This is a coat for being seen in. See the rest of the reds and the wider collection, and read our guide to choosing fox if you are weighing it against something quieter.

A strong, classic fox overall presentation, with plenty of visual character.
Shayna Illas –
Very polished fox finish, that feels elegant without being excessive.
