I have a very pretty full-length leather coat. It's a rusty brown, made of lambskin. My Mom found it for me, second-hand, from a very swanky Madistan shop...that's no longer in business due to the PETA and leftists freaks in this town. I. Love. It. My Mom is a seamstress and worked for Savadusky Furs for a number of years. She'd have me stop by at the end of the business day and we'd play Dress Up with all the furs in storage. Chinchilla, for sure. Best of the best. :)
I've never wanted a new fur, but if I find one that fits me perfectly on the second-hand market, or from some wealthy local woman who's "downsizing," I'll be snatching it up. In high school I had a coat that had a curly lambswool collar. It was like wearing a Poodle around your neck...and it was so warm! I was Thrift Shop before Thrift Shop became cool. ;)
My friend has a full length black mink coat. I think it's that "Blackgama" brand. It is awesome. You just want to pet her whenever she wears it...proudly...while driving her BMW SUV, LOL! You gotta love it. She'd just flick those PETA freaks away like a stray booger, if any dared to bother her; she's got that "I'll Kill You If You Speak To Me," look down cold, LOL!

Are you writing for Larry the cable guy? I don't care who you are, that's funny.
You are like me Diana, I'm into flea markets (swap meets to you yankees), yard sales and thrift stores. Why pay three times as much for something when you can get it nearly new for so much less money.
Fur is cozy.
Do you use the skins of the deer you harvest? I love the feel of deerskin. I'm hoping next year my sis's grandson or I get a deer on my property. I want to use the skin as a rug to hang on the wall of my cabin.
I never payed much attention to Joan Rivers till I read one of the PETA freaks threw red paint on a fur coat she was wearing once, and, if I remember correctly, she was about to kick some butt, till the freak got away.
I also read about how her late husband had bought her that fur, and what a special meaning it had for her. She's a pretty tough gal for a city slicker.
