Camel Hair Coat

"A camel hair coat evokes throw away glamour" Michael Kors.  

Did you know that authentic camel hair jackets, scarves, etc., are actually made with real camel hair. It is painstakingly gathered from a camels soft underside.  And one camel only produces a few pound a year.  It is gathered mostly by combing while they are in moulting season, and is cruelty free, as far as I have read.  Pretty cool right.  Chic, stylish, warm, timeless, keeps old school farmers in business in eastern countries, and doesn't hurt any animals.  What is not to love?

I like the idea of a classic, vintage, boyfriend camel hair blazer.  But a great trench is always timeless.
