I grew up in Minnesota where 20 below zero temps (not windchills, actual temps) are commonplace and no one wears fur (or, I guess, not that I noticed).
It really isn’t necessary. There are many other fabrics in this day and age that will keep you just as warm as fur (actually warmer). Plus, I don’t know a lot about how they ‘harvest’ fur, but don’t they skin animals alive in certain countries? That’s just sickening.
But, I promise not to throw paint at you. However, if I see someone walking down the street here in WS with fur coat, hat, mittens, mufflers, and boots I may burst out laughing simply because I imagine that might look quite ridiculous.
