I just found this (rather small) picture of Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein, archbishop and elector of Mainz/Germany from 1756 to 1763. Doesn't that just make you want to save all your money for two decades and then run and get an electoral coat? Honestly, I think the depiction of the fur is quite masterful. And it's not even a cappa!
