Vintage Fashioned in Tudor City Fabric by Malden faux fur coat

Faux fur first appeared in the 1960s as an alternative to the more expensive real thing. Among the innovators in the field was Malden Mills, a Massachusetts firm founded in 1906. Although for years a conventional textile mill, it made a name for itself by developing synthetic fabrics made from polyester, beginning with fake fur. What inspired the company to name the line after Tudor City is lost to history.
