Vintage French Lynx Fur Jacket with Cross Fox Collar – Au Tigre Royal, Tours (c. 1970s–80s)

A striking and rare vintage piece from the esteemed French furrier Au Tigre Royal, this jacket showcases luxurious craftsmanship in a sculptural silhouette. Made in Tours, France, and likely dating to the 1970s–80s, the jacket is tailored in richly patterned lynx fur, featuring distinctive dark rosettes on a warm beige base.

The standout feature is the dramatic, full cross fox fur collar, prized for its natural blend of gold, ash, and cream tones. The jacket fastens with original furrier toggle clasps set into a supple leather interior placket, and is trimmed at the cuffs, hem, and pockets with chocolate brown leather for contrast and structure.

The satin lining is monogrammed throughout with Au Tigre Royal – Jean Elie Cywlis, suggesting bespoke or limited atelier production.
