Every winter

Hope so... although here is pretty dead...

Hopefully it starts cooling off here... Although I don't trust the weatherman, can't predict tomorrow never mind a month from now... but Im not even seeing anything below zero for a low for several weeks... usually by now we've had a few -5s and I can sneak out in a coat early in the morning.. they're calling highs in the mid 20s all this week here...  Ill take it, but its time to pull out the furs...

May we see the collection?

Yeah! We still haven’t seen the Lynx full length yet… and of course more pics of that newly acquired Silver Fox!

It’s definitely still a thing in the uk. Women/ young girls are buying faux furs in bulk which is only making the demand for real fur more desirable. It may make fur more expensive but none of us got into this because it was cheap… Long may this trend continue.

So far we haven’t seen much of a winter here in Chicago. Tonight it’s down into the 40’s and that is the coldest it has been around here since April. It’s been so mild. 60’s and 70’s for the better part of this entire fall. And that weather is supposed to stick around for the next couple of weeks

You do realize that Sherpa fleece is synthetic right? It’s made from polyester and acrylic blends. It’s the least fur-like material that you saw on your walk today

Of course, but I was making the point that the retro vibe is still on... And colder weather can only mean more statement fur!

It's crazy warm. In the uk we can still go out side in summer clothing almost. Generally in the mid teens degrees wise.

Anxiously awaiting "Mob Wife Night" at bars, restaurants, and/or events. Seems like a good theme to draw a crowd or to fundraise. Just dreaming?

Isn’t it dreadful?!  The only saving grace we have in Scotland is that it gets very windy so there’s a degree of windchill involved.  But yes, I wish the temperature would drop.  It’s not healthy for this time of year.

Looks like Etsy Sellers are still using Mob Wife as one of their tagging strategies for their listings so hoping buyers are still searching for it!

My wife's social feeds and TikTok videos are starting to feature a lot of younger affluent/fashionable women wearing vintage fur coats... I mean a lot of videos!

(She's not on my algorithm... haha)

Watching TV tonight, she's turned her phone to me a few times and asked "What do you think?"

Of course I replied, "The coat or the girl?" 🤔 haha

Am I dreaming? I've been praying for this my whole life... The Comeback!!!!

Now that I've come to terms with not being able to buy vintage furs due to all this demand running up prices, I'm at least happy that I can walk around this Winter and give really warm compliments to everyone I see wearing fur...

Let's make this last forever! 🎅

Agreed!  So good to see furs making a comeback and hopefully the trend will continue.  We’re hoping to see more furs this winter.

My partner and I probably pre-date the mob wife trend, but I still think we’re pretty “young” at under 30. We have certainly noticed more people our age wearing fur in recent years. We’re heading north for a holiday in a few weeks where it’s a lot colder. We’re deciding which of our collection to take, as we have quite a bit of choice and limited luggage space!
