Don't know exactly......year it all stopped.......but I can remember a time women proudly wore mink or fox coats and jackets......even in fall and spring...... fur collars....wrists......trim....was always a status symbol and used to show off in front of friends and relatives.........even the large dry cleaner in town ......advertising on tv of their " fur vault " for proper out of season storage of fur outerwear.......can't remember the year but it all went away overnite.....

I bought the wife a mink coat last year for her birthday. Still prominent in colder climates, it's hard to beat. I have a set of beaver gauntlets I use on my snow machines too. I'd like to say I have more, but it sure is spendy. Not sure where the cost comes in, I know the guy who caught all those mink didn't get much out of the deal, and I doubt the tannery did either Are you the logger in photo on mugshot fourm......if it is .......how old is photo.......I didn't think north America had trees that diameter still standing

Plenty of fur is worn in America, it's just not celebrated like it used to be.
Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

I saw a pic a couple of days ago with J Lo wearing a full length fur coat.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
