Replacing a fake fur ruff on this cape/shawl for the wife.
Which fur do you think looks better, coyote or fox?

She wanted other opinions. She's leaning coyote, but isn't positive yet.

Tough one, I’m leaning towards coyote. Got a darker tawny one?

That's the best coyote I've got. When the light hits it right, there's black tips on most of the fur, even down the haunches. Around here most of our coyotes are more tawny, less black.

Coyote seems to be the popular choice. I am going to try to get started on it this weekend.
