Can Real Fur be Worn Again?

[CrushedVamp]

I watched a 1980’s show yesterday where in trying to show how she was a materialistic woman of sorts, she wore a mink coat. That got me to thinking, everything old is new again, so is it acceptable to wear real fur again. I was thinking of buying my wife a fur coat.

I know for many years the wearing of real fur has been declared wrong, although my own ideas on that are a little different. I had a farm and let people trap animals, but after awhile they stopped because without a market, there was no money in the furs. This was too bad as the wildlife on my farm got really out of whack.

I looked up some coats the other day and the prices are now reasonable but was curious as to how that coat might be approached by others?

If they are available, I guess you can buy them but in terms of broader society and acceptability - let alone fashionability - I’d say no.

I don't wear real fir but I do have an imitation fir coat that I wear out in winter. It's an off grey color and I've had many compliments wearing that coat out with a skirt, tights and heels of course.

Happy Heeling,

I have been looking around some and it seems real fur is coming back into fashion again which I think is good.

I was hoping for sable but see that is well outside of my price range, she is my wife and priceless but not a $25,000 dollar fur coat priceless. I draw the line there.

I was looking at some coyote fur bomber style jackets though that looked stylish and warm and in the $1400 range which is far more practical. I think I am going to pull the trigger on that for a Valentine's Day present. Maybe that will set her up for a March 14th Day present for me! 🙂 (Don't look that holiday up while at work though... NOT safe for work!
