shareI think that might have been monkey fur.
The only reason I know that is from the movie,
"Singing in the Rain" and the "Beautiful Girl" number.
They have a fashion show and the fella talks about
the "trim is monkey fur" and it looked very much the same.

I can't be totally sure, but in a Jeanette MacDonald/Nelson Eddy movie I once saw, Jeanette wore something with similarly long fur and I was told it was orangatan fur. I just watched this film last night for the 2nd time (saw it for the first time long ago and so most of it I had forgotten, including this coat) and when I saw this coat last night, I immediately thought "monkey fur". I thought the coat was very ugly and weird. Maybe there were some other animals with long fur to make these sorts of garments; I'll have to do some research on that.
shareThe muff which Jeanette carried in SWEETHEARTS was designed by MGM costume designer Adrian and was made out of monkey fur. I think the coat that Irene Dunne wears in TGW was also made put of monkey fur.

Certainly was hideous, and extremely unflattering as a coat, whatever it was made from.
shareI thought it was gorgeous but also hideous and evil and wrong.

Just finished watching, and it is quite clear that the coat is covered outside with FEATHERS.
