There are some surprising good faux furs out there as well. They look great and they're durable as all heck. My fake fur cloaks have seen a lot of hard wear and have been worn for decades, with decades left to go. The only thing I've needed to replace in all those years in the lining.
Chances are you'll pay between $29-$35 dollars a yard, but they come on huge upholstery rolls. The furs can be easily cut into strips. The main thing is to brush them with your hand against the grain. The good furs will hardly shed at all, if at all. And they're a lot easier to keep clean. For my money, a great value. Just an option.... Arlys On Tue, 3 Mar 2009 09:28:05 -0500 [email protected] writes: > > Someone told me that rabbit (and cat) are one of the few furs that > sheds > and is a > > terrible mess?
