I think l have read that somewhere, and also that the Barguzin sable is like the best in the world and the most expensive. I saw one coat like this for nearly $200K!
Hmmm that is troubling. The listing does indeed say it Canadian sable. What do you make of the dark lines in the third picture of the listing?
You already know what I think, but the choice is yours. Your money will be buying it, and you will be wearing it. If this is what you mean, it just looks like some areas of the fur is more worn so it’s lighter than others.
This is sable...
Thanks! I totally see the difference now. This is why I consulted the experts here. I’ll probably pass - you ladies have shown me I can get a brand new coat for the same or less.
I’m by no means an expert, but I’m definitely glad to help where I can. I find that many here are quite knowledgeable and others of us are learning together
I like getting more bang for my buck so I personally, wouldn’t start with a $300 vest when I could get a full length coat for only a hundred more. Now that my collection has several full lengths and a couple stoles my next conquest may be a stroller of some kind to round out the collection but I’m not sure because I think I prefer full length.

I would love to start with a nice knee length sheared dark mink! Do you find you wear your furs on a day to day basis or more for dressier occasions? I need to find some time to go back in this thread for inspiration!
I generally am somewhat dressy even when dressing down. I personally find that my coat goes with anything from dresses to jeans. Mine is actually considered a 7/8’s coat as a true full length goes to your feet, I don’t like the ones that go to my feet.
Getting ready for the warmer weather but not ready to part with fur yet! I bought this one last night, Chloe opossum short sleeve jacket
I like it, kinda looks like stone marten.
Yes! Exactly! When I got my opossum coat from Etsy the seller had no clue what it was, I thought it was stone martens too, then I googled around and realized it was American Opossum.
It's an unusual fur, a bit ratty but nice at the same time. It's very casual
It's lovely. I have never touched this fur type but I like it's look.
I love the cut too!!!
Eeew. Wouldn't they be obviously visible, or would you really have to 'dig' to see them?! Yikes.
I love this! But when would you wear it? With long sleeves? I have a few vests that I keep taking off, since I end up being too cold/hot...
I own a rabbit fur jacket similar to this on its cut. I wear it when 'dressed up'. I love to wear it with a black dress (my fur is black). It's from Joseph, it's 8 yeats old and in perfect condition - I love wearing it. This one I guess could be worn with gloves to create more drama and to keep your arms warmer?
Bugs you have to look for, like really look for. You will see tell tail signs, like twirled areas of fur, clean cut breaks in the fur, clumps of fur falling out, bald spots etc. Areas that get attacked are usually well hidden, typically on the bottom edges near the hem is a common spot, or under the collar.
You need to thoroughly go over the fur. I have been known to use a magnifying glass.
Short sleeve furs I wear just as I would a short sleeve sweater. Either sleeveless underneath or a shorter sleeved dress or top, and save it for the warmer weather.
I wear them at around 75 degrees F, temps under 78 I still feel chilly so I need something lol
