The sideline gals on TNF were both wearing coats with fur trimmed collars. What do you think the odds are it's real fur and not faux fur?

Here's the pretty one...

Nothing wrong with the dame,but the coat and trim is assugly.
She would have looked so much better in a genuine CG coat.


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

The Canadian Grey Cup had several people wearing real Western coyote fur.

I have a hard time telling the difference between real and faux fur just from the look. For the most part. It's a shame so many of the so-called trapper hats with the fur brim and ear flaps use fake fur. I'll admit I bought a cool looking red plaid one to wear while ice fishing, with fake fur, but before I wear it in public I'll be replacing the faux fur with muskrat.

The real deal has a grain direction to the flow , as all trappers know, of course. That is the first thing I try to observe. Plastic fur has a stiff look to it , with no grain flow....it can stick up in different directions and odd angles .

In the wind, real fur has a gorgeous wave and give to the ends...plastic stuff will wave and blow in the wind, but it just doesnt have that ebb and flow. Nor will it lay back down into it's grain direction.

Some fur , is more difficult that way, such as sheared beaver ..it is so close cut , but if the breeze is stiff enough, even that has soft look in parting and separating , then laying back to it's grain flow.

Some fake stuff is more thin stranded, and does a bit better job in trying to seem natural in a breeze.

The top pic I cant tell....the bottom I would bet is plastic.

I always find it strange why someone would not want real fur, but spend money on plastic stuff , trying to look as though they do. If they don't agree with the beauty of the natural resource, then don't encourage anything that has the "look."

I think both are fake. The collars just don’t look right.

I'll watch to the end and see if they show "wardrobe provided by..." and try to catch the names. Maybe can narrow it down from that.

As a Packer fan I always like to watch the Bears lose, but I also enjoy watching the Cowboys lose, and am curious to see if Jerry Jones will stick to his word and not fire Jason Garrett even though his team continues to lose and lose bad.
