My wife has a raccoon stroller and muskrat jacket a sheared beaver vest as well as furnearmuffs and gloves trimmed with opossum fur
She gets lots of complements and let’s everyone who asks know that my son and I trapped all that fur
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

That is how I got into selling manufactured fur articles. I was drinking in the Bar at one of the Raucous winter carnivals here in Feb,back in the late 70's,and was wearing a Red Fox hat with the face,head and tail that I had made for myself. I was running low on drinking money so sold the hat for $125. Needless to say my noggin was cold all weekend after since all I had was a toque to wear. The next year I made up Two fur hats in case I needed to sell one for extra fun money I would still have one to keep the old noggin warm. Well I wound up selling both of those the next year,then it sort of took off when people seen my unique design on a few people and started calling for hats and later mitts all through word of mouth. No better way to advertise and create a demand for fur than wearing it,or have other people wear it.

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

I have never worn my raccon hat without getting postivie comments. I would say there is also a 50 / 50 on if they ask to touch it.
