This 1950 high fashion fur ad was published in the upscale and short-lived Flair Magazine. The magazine was written for high-class New Yorkers with a lifestyle different from middle class mid-century post-war Americans who longed for fur coats.

It is likely that the audience for this fur ad already had furs in her closet. Note that she is wearing pants. “What, this old thing?” No word what she was wearing on top under the fur. Perhaps nothing.
