I have one of those parkas. When the hood is fully zipped there's
actually a short "tunnel" of more moderate temperature air between your
face and the outside. Supposedly wolf fur was the only trim that
wouldn't frost up in those cold temperatures.

Wolf fur used to be the preferred trim for the hoods on heavy parkas,

Frank mentioned that fur trim on parkas and coats was making a
resurgence. I don't know if the stores are selling wolf fur or not, but
that's what the image called to my mind.
For all I know it may be an image of coyotes. Whether it's Wolves or
Coyotes doesn't make much difference to me, but that particular image
was NOT rodents.
Whichever way the political winds are blowing, I know a hawk from a
handsaw.

I've considered buying a wolf pelt.

No store sells wolf fur. Pure propaganda.

As we walked downtown yesterday we saw a bunch of police cars in

of Holt's, a very upscale department store. An animal rights group
was
protesting fur in general, but also the fact that Holt's sells it:
I'll likely have a gallery later in the week, but until then, this

Fur trim on parkas and coats is unfortunately seeing a resurgence
around these parts. I'll keep political thoughts to myself.
Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
