What is monkey coats?

Monkey coats are often made of imitation fur that mimics the look and texture of real monkey fur. They were popular in the early 20th century, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s. Although they were originally made from real monkey fur, the practice was eventually banned due to animal welfare concerns. The coats were popular because they were warm and stylish and were often worn by wealthy women. Today, many vintage monkey coats can be found in second-hand shops or online, although they are often considered controversial due to their association with the use of real animal fur.
