My old mink coat ( 25 years)

No, I would not buy a new one in todays world but am milking mine till the very end. The lining was perfect so turned it inside out with the beat up fur on the inside. Then I cut (with just a plain scissor) the length, put the scraps in one bag and the coat in another to go to the tailor to sew up the lining. DID YOU GUESS IT? I threw the wrong plastic bag down the incinerator and the poor guys in my building had to sift through the garbaaaage... luckily it was on Sunday and discovered within a half hour so yup got it back. After the hem is hemmed with belt it with leather... Do you hav any stories on about an old coat?
