    This coat has that musty smell too, better hurry and get that ozone machine when I can afford one, not right now though.
    This coat does not have a makers label, only inside 2 labels. I wonder if it was custom made for somebody. I have never seen faux fur like this square pattern, almost reminds me of Chanel for some reason.
    Is this coat worth cleaning ?

    Thank You

    It's a pretty coat although I don't know anything about it. I don't see the dirty parts that would need cleaning. I'd not advise you to clean it without further information. I saw the pretty handmade suit and don't know anything about that either. Are you going to list these online?

    Yes, I'm gonna sell it. i have too because I am way behind on bills, water shut off notice, cable bill, electric bill, water bill. I don't work at a job for someone, I can't anymore, i suffer from anxiety attacks often, sometimes suicide thoughts. I am so messed up, can't sleep sometimes, some things i keep because I like them, most things i sell to survive. Oh well, I just spoke the truth and don't want to delete this, it's okay if everyone knows my situation now.

    Oh Billy, and those bills don't do much for your peace of mind either. You don't have to delete it, it is nothing to be ashamed of, and I am glad I know it.
    When I got too sick to work, in my early twenties, I had no income either. I was lucky I could move back in with my parents for a while, but that was far from perfect, of course.
    I wish I could help you in some way.

    It is a beautiful coat. It doesn't look dirty, and I think if you turn it inside out and air it outside for a while, most of the smell will go away.

    I love the lining and it shows better open (as in your 3rd picture) than closed and belted. (Never been a fan of belted coats.) I suspect this might have been a sample piece. Custom-made would not have had those labels inside without the manufacturer's label too.
