  1. Without mink or minks.
    • 1956, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, volume 10, number 9, page 5:
      Even though top-quality mink coats are up, furriers are using split skins to make lower-priced minks, too. "Minkless mink" will be quite a sensation with the people who dote on but can't afford the real thing.
    • 2011, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Last Refuge, page 248:
      The fantasy of herself in a trench coat, rather than as she was, minkless and shivering, dashing forth to save the world, which God knew was now beyond saving, kept her going.
