Do you wear any fur? I procrastinated this year and didn't do what I originally wanted to do. I really want to get a coon hat and some muskrat gloves made from fur I harvested and would definitely wear them out in public. People set trends. Some may get some push back from some on public, but maybe we could help the industry and ourselves by wearing fur again. So, do you wear fur?

J Lo does.

I have a hat and mittens I do wear! They attract a lot of attention and people often want to lay their hands on fur and simply can’t deny how wonderful it is.
One day I’d like a cloak made from fur with a deep hood. Not necessarily a coat or jacket. A cloak I can wrap up in!

My wife and grown daughter wear fur all winter on cold days. Full length, mink, raccoon, beaver, & ocelot. Various hats and fur bands.
Had ear muffs made from mink I trapped toooo expensive by the time you tan and send out. More recently I bought all the fur coats at auction & thrift shops.

IIs pretty much a necessity for outdoor activities in winter here.
Everyone loves to show off their fur hats and mitts at winter carnival time.
That is how I started into selling fur articles.
I made my own fox hat for carnival and someone bought it right off my head in the hotel when I was running low on beer money.
next year at carnival I made two in case I had to sell one,that year I wound up selling both.Then in the following months the phone started ringing off the wall people wanting to buy my style of fur hats.
Today lots of ice fishermen,skidooers and older people who walk every day for health all buy and wear fur hats and mitts and hood trim
Full fur coats are generally too high fashon for the regular joe. around here..

I am wanting to make an otter vest, just haven't found the style/pattern I want yet. Got a couple hats to make, but am very hesitant as I really don't want to mess them up!

No but I want to get a hat or headband made for my wife out if some muskrats. And my son wants some mittens made. Just needing to find a good trustworthy person to make them

I would like to get a Santa hat made for Christmas time, I would wear it to the mall shopping for the family. Thinking muskrat dyed red and bobcat belly fur for the trim and top. I have thought about this for a few years just has not happened. Would be a great conversation starter about wild fur and renewable resources

It's how I got into making fur hats and other things, when I started making the little kids in the family coon skin hats for winter wear and on their birthdays, now every kid gets one and the parents are getting the higher priced fur ones

Just snow balled after that have made all kinds of stuff, but mostly different style fur hats, saving up nice badger pelts for a full length men's fur coat, with a coyote collar !

I wear a beaver hat in the winter. Wife wears a mink pill box hat.
Miss Aalaiya wears all kinds of fur and loves playing dress up. She'll go to the convenience store like this some days

All the girls in my family have worn this simple mink hair pull back through the years
And they've loved it! They get so many compliments

nice guys,

wear fur every day it covers my back between my shirt and a hooded sweat shirt is all i wear we have temps from 0 to 30 degrees most of the winter i go in and take it off its warm to sweating i dont wear it to prove anything i wear it to stay warm i spend a lot of time out side in the winter (i make them with straps on them like a back pack has)

I have an otter hat with beaver tail brim, and a lynz mountain man wear whenever Im out. Wore the lynz to the Packers game yesterday people just love it. I use it to promote wearing fur and trapping, renewable resource, and so warm. Had a dozen great conversations yesterday, and advertised for Wildthing furs as well.

First I gotta catch some fur!

Not very often. If it is 30 below, I will wear my black bear mitts. Most people have handwarmers on the their sno-gos and most new sno-gos have small windshields. Both kill the fur mitt and fur hat market.

I had a Fisher hat I traded for in '82' it had calico lining and a Leather brim.

I loved that hat , I want another made

i have people ask me all the time arnt you cold thats when i take my sweat shirt and my back half vest off and tell them to feal the vest on the inside they say man thats warm and thats why i dont get cold far as your guestion who wears fur im willing to bet less than 10 percent on this site wear fur on a regular basses you go to conventions auctions and other events in iowa you dont see any body wearing fur but they want good prices for their fur we need more ludy shedias

I have a hand plucked sheared beaver crop style coat , with matching scarf and earmuffs I designed and had custom made , four under ice caught super blanket beavers I bought from a trapper in Michigan . It is so soft everyone wants to touch it .

Had a gorgeous hat made of multi colored marten , with three tails from crown down the back. Chose each one from T4Ever in SE Alaska, and Temple built it to perfection from my description. Get complimented every time I wear it. Wore it at the Fling and out on the town in Fairbanks area with JR.

A very hardy beaver hat that keeps me warm in the coldest temps. Wore it out on JR’s trapline with him when I was in Alaska for two weeks.

An otter pill box hat , fur from T4Ever again, Temple being the builder again.

A crystal fox headband halo hat, made by Judy Comstock .

A shearling sheepskin coat, hat and mitts made in Australia. Full shearling tall boots too.

Just love wearing fur. One of many main great reasons for winter.

Last , a bobcat tail hangs from my sheepskin hide purse. That’s there year round. I often get comments about that . Some ask what animal it’s from. I’ve never received a negative response yet.

Love to see folks wearing their fur .
