— Vintage Tissavel France faux fur jacket manufactured for Sears, 1974-1975 — Luxurious high-density acrylic faux fur (designed to emulate the dramatic guard hairs of wolf or fox fur — Oversized, slightly cropped boxy silhouette — Wide fold-over portrait collar — Full-length YKK metal zip-front closure — Smooth black satin-feel lining for comfort — Faux fur remains in very good condition (full, plush appearance) — No size tag — There are a couple of small areas on one sleeve where the fur was lightly singed in the past. The affected fibres have been carefully trimmed and are only noticeable if the fur is deliberately parted or brushed in a particular direction — The green coating on the reverse of the collar facing is flaking with age. This does not affect wear or the appearance when worn, and the remaining coating can naturally wear away over time or be removed by buyer if desired Produced by Tissavel France (renowned French textile mill widely regarded as the gold standard of luxury faux fur manufacturing during the mid-20th century). Tissavel pioneered a patented woven-pile construction that significantly reduced shedding, matting, and tangling compared with conventional acrylic faux furs, making its fabrics highly sought after for their durability and realism. Manufactured for Sears as part of its premium faux fur collections, which brought luxury-quality outerwear to a wider market by closely replicating the weight, drape, warmth, and appearance of genuine mink and other high-end furs. The use of a full-length YKK metal zipper, rather than traditional hook-and-eye closures, reflects the era's move toward versatile day-to-evening outerwear with a more contemporary, sporty-luxury feel. Based on the YKK zip style and construction, this jacket is believed to date to approximately 1974–1975.
