That's horrible! Perhaps you could wear your coats but say they are faux fur if anyone asks.
Does anyone else wish that fur coats would come back in style

I don't have one but I love the look of fur coats, so lux. In Spain, I often see older ladies wear them during winter when they go out. So chic. I have a rabbit hair hat that I wear maybe once a year, if even that, during winter trips and makes me feel like a tsarina.
It doesn't matter if it's new, vintage or faux, those really aggressive ones don't see the difference. You wear fur= bad person.
I've never had anyone say anything to me about wearing fur. However, I really don't care what someone thinks about it.
I got a new mahogany mink swing coat a couple of months ago. A long time furrier was going out of business (due to retirement plus he's selling his building for a fortune), and had to sell his inventory, all high quality furs. (His great-grandfather made saddles for Napoleon.) Today it's bitter cold here in Chicago, the high is 2 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect day for my long heavy shearling. A twenty degree day would be too warm for it. Lots of ladies wear their minks and other furs to the church I go to, you also see some at the grocery store or out shopping.
I was in Poland this Christmas and saw a couple of full length real fur coats being worn. My fiancée said how good they looked so I took her into a local furriers. The next thing I know we are both walking out in fur jackets!!😀😀
Who thinks that fur can also be worn men?

Fur pieces really do last a long time if well take care of. It can be passed down to the next generation like fine quality pieces are meant to be. Like vintage trunks, they can also be refurbished (try that with synthetics). Talk about sustainability of an article of clothing! (no fast fashion here). Keeping things out of landfills and not contributing to microplastics/petroleum overuse (ie. faux anything ). My mother had her full length mink (from over 60 years ago) modernized by shortening it and converted that end piece to other accessories (trimmed hat, mini stole). Nothing beats a fur piece in the winter when you want a light weight but utmost warm coat. Especially for times when you want to wear anything thin, lightweight or strapless and not having to wear a sweater or big bulky parka to protect yourself against the elements, a fur coat really is a stylish option IMHO. The cold wind does not cut through nor does humidity ‘chill your bones’ yet thermoregulating enough that you don’t feel suffocated. I bought this from Neimans last year. It is a nylon/mink reversible 3/4 length coat. Perfect for those times when I want the benefits of fur without the attention or just want to protect the fur.
@fox wearer Fur, like leather, is just another natural material used for clothing. It is gender neutral. Rock it! Post a pic of your jacket if you are so inclined.

Interesting that there is little to no pushback on real fur here. Good to see...I suppose partly because this is a purse forum and most purses are leather of some kind. Leather and fur...pretty much the same thing when it comes to animal welfare. The choice of leather and fur in fashion is all about freedom....that is...human freedom, To choose.
Total agreement! I think most kids who grew up around fur and leather accept it now. My parents had both....mom even had unborn calf boots she loved.
