Would you you consider buying good quality real wild fur hats and mitts if you could get easier access to them ?
YES
Would you have a price point for these garments? that would make or break the deal ?
150-250$
Would you buy them for your kids ?
NO, they'd get lost!!!
And lastly in your circle of friends does anyone wear fur ?
YES, but not lots
I would buy some for my wife and I.
No need for orange while bow hunting and I don't know anyone that would wear orange while doing so...... Fur hat is the way to go.Quote:

All kidding aside, I would definitely purchase quality fur and leather products to cloth my family in. In fact, my aunt made a pair of slippers for my son out of deer hide and rabbit fur trim when he came into the world and is currently making my daughter a pair of slippers from deer hide and coyote fur trim.Quote:

Been trying all season to get four rabbits.. I want to make some mitts...
I'm just a horrible hunter...
LOVE fur! I have fur hats, mitts, a seal skin/fur vest and more. Also have a couple of pelts to make more. Fur is the best for warmth in my opinion. I would purchase for my kids too if there was a way to keep them from losing them i.e. loop of string for mitts to go through the jacket sleeves.

Dad used to have 100 rabbits when he was in his teens, he is retired now and seems keen on my upcoming rabbits, too bad he lives too far away.
I would definately buy for myself kids and wife, we all would love to be wearing fur but the only place i have seen it for sale is online and i dont trust it.
YesQuote:

Yes. I can't wait until my eldest son can fit in my raccoon hat!Quote:

Probably, but it doesn't come up. I am less likely to grab someone's clothes to see if it is real - that is my wife's job :p.Quote:

I've been eyeing up the seal skin clothing at Nature Boutique, and would prefer warm fur garments, or at least in helpful trim areas, if the price was right.Quote:
Im working on a few things currently and I know we have a very diverse group of people on this forum from many different walks of life and I'd like to get some feedback
I don't think I'd be looking at fox stoles or the like - not opposed, just not my bag (also not for me, but for my wife) ((seriously)).
I know it is a bit weird, but I don't like those monster sized fur hats, sometimes complete with giant ear flaps. I understand they may be warm, but I don't have any interest in wearing a whole beaver on my head.
