After pillaging the Topshop sale weeks ago, I’ve acquired a wool-shag jacket that happens to be a straight-up doppelgänger of the one pictured above. . .schawing!
If only those boots had integrated themselves into my life as well.

Mars in Furs
gucci f/w 2010, via style.com
This look from the latest Gucci menswear show has me yearning for a time in which the menfolk would embrace throwing on a long shaggy goat, Mongolian wool, or more luxe pelt without the necessity of an aspiring-pimp substantiation/umbrella holder. Think of the wardrobe sharing potential. . . and with Brian Jones or George Harrison, there would be multitudes and multitudes of sartorial gain.
“Furs offer some men a purely tactile thrill. A case in point is the Pennsylvania businessman who says his closet fairly groans with custom-tailored, fur-trimmed topcoats. Admitting to a penchant for pelts that dates from his boyhood, he recalled the guilty satisfaction he felt in snuggling against his mother’s sealskin coat.
”Men, not just women, like things that are sensuous,’”
(Men’s Style; Warming Up to Fur Coats by Ruth La Ferla, New York Times, Oct. 30, 1988)
The article referenced above seems to be exploring fur for men in the context of an amped-up, hypermasculine Wall Street power-player aesthetic, as opposed to our Sixties groovers pictured above, or any Dr. Zhivago exoticness, which, given the time the article was written, is deemed appropriate. But twenty-odd years later, fur doesn’t seem to be as groovy (or bombastic) unless it’s Kanye-related.
