A rare and striking mid-century fur coat by Ayelén Best Furs, Buenos Aires, crafted circa 1958–1965, combining sleek pony hair with rich fox fur accents.

This elegant coat features a beautifully structured silhouette with a double-breasted front, soft rounded shoulders, and a flattering mid-length cut that balances warmth and sophistication. The fox fur collar, cuffs, and hemline add depth, texture, and unmistakable mid-century glamour.

The pony hair body has a subtle natural sheen and a deep dark brown tone that can appear almost black depending on the light, creating a dramatic yet timeless effect. Designed to be worn open or gently closed, it transitions effortlessly between classic refinement and bold presence.

A distinctive and intimate detail of this piece is the presence of embroidered gold initials “EH”, discreetly stitched into the lining, suggesting a custom-made garment originally created for its first owner.

Produced by Ayelén Best Furs during the golden era of Argentine fur ateliers, this coat reflects exceptional craftsmanship, premium materials, and a level of tailoring intended to endure for generations.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE! Antique hand made items where handmade and differ to standard sizes. Please check the measurements closely for determining fit. I do not give sizes for vintage items as women's sizes are not standardized and a majority of these dresses were homemade or specialty made to fit one person. Also if vintage items are size tagged they usually run smalller comparing to the actual sizes. A good method to check is to measure a similar item that fits and compare.
If you have any questions about the fit feel free to ask, I am happy to help.

PLEASE check measurements before purchase. A good method is to measure a similar item that fits and compare.

Please Note :
Any accessories used in the picture are not included, there are there to show how the outfit could be worn or a decorative object. I need to be honest. I sell Vintage and Antique Clothing and I would say anything before 30s should be treated with care and worn with care. Mostly these items will be fragile especially 20s silk or Edwardian very fine Muslin. Some can not handle stress and will tear easily. Should be bought a size bigger where possible or should be a little loose on.

Things to consider when buying Edwardian or Victorian clothing:If an item is marked XS but looks loose and big! It maybe has a Medium Shoulder and Hip but the waist is Tiny! (Corsets!). It may look big and loose but the shoulders or opening of the arm will be small, or the waist.
- The sleeves may not be long to the wrist but more of a 3/4.
- Buttons also may vary in shape and size on the same blouse, these blouses are old and would have lost buttons along the way.

Happy to answer any question.
Thanks for visiting.
