Very nice Beaglador, I'll trade you forty pounds of scrapple for one of the natural ones.  Seriously, though...I will... I appreciate the offer! But I must pass- I currently have a batch of venison scrapple simmering!

At current fur prices those must be worth tens of dollars each
Look pretty good though

Beautiful! Are they all vests? Yes again beautiful! Since you mentioned that you did not create these beauties, can you share with us who did?

Great looking vests.
When I went to the NAFA fur school,we were shown the technique of "leathering".
Every fox skin was cut into 1 inch strips after blocking,then 1/2 inch strips of leather were sewn between them.
Nick,the technician sewed a complete vest including the leathering in around 20 minutes.That is not including the lining.
Letting out is a bit different technique.The procedure is to slice a skin into 1/8 or 1/4 inch strips,but leave them all attached at the edges.then the skins are pulled for length,the cuts moving diagonally to each other and sewn back together.
Nick let out a beaver pelt and when he was done it was 6 inches wide and about 4 feet long with what they call a herringbone design in the fur from all the seams.This technique is used in full length coats to eliminate any horizontal seams and give the skins the look of running the full length of the garment.It is used extensively in mink coats.
There is a machine that they use to make the cuts,but it can also be done by hand.A good technician with a fur sewing machine can sew very fast-unbelievably fast.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have seen the “leathering” technique in many garments, it adds an entirely different feel to the garment... Agreed that a skilled technician can stitch it up in unbelievably short amounts of time.Have you seen “perfed” garments? Access to those technicians has become quite the obstacle here. Being a thing of the past is unacceptable in the fashion world- so finding someone that is not only skilled/ experienced in fur and up to date with modern techniques and styles is quite a struggle. Besides some remnants in NYC, actual manufacturing of fur garments is just something that doesn’t occur in the US- sad because as far as I can tell- much of the US was settled and established for/ because of fur.
