I don’t know how to tell you this.. but a fair number of us still own fur that was purchased long before it became PC not to wear fur.
in this age of recycling.. do you really think we should just throw them out or make throw pillows of them?
I would not choose to buy a new fur today… i haven’t for decades… though there were some possum furs in Australia that were pretty darn tempting… but i am not about to throw out what i already own… and would buy it used in a heartbeat if it was something i loved.
As someone who suffers terribly in the cold, i can tell you that a fur coat processed the old fashioned way really is one of the warmest coats you can own… and boots too.. and hats.
both my hat and my boots are alpaca.. and my coats are shearling… but the animals who wore those skins last obviously died to make them…
Kayleigh… synthetics make my feet stink.. worse than they do in leather if i am wearing synthetic socks… i wear leather:)
WesCAddle.. i am not sure i looked so different when i was in Minnesota at 20 below.. though for that i was swaddled mostly in down… it easier to wash.. dirty snow got on everything. first thing i did when i found we were moving back to the northwest was put that walking sleeping bag coat and a couple of my furs in a consignment shop. Perhaps i shouldn’t have been so hasty:)
