[h-cost] Rabbit - was: What kind of fur would you use for this?
Someone told me that rabbit (and cat) are one of the few furs that sheds and is a terrible mess? Anyone have that experience? Yes, rabbit sheds amazingly. However, it is a relatively cheap fur to learn how to work with fur on - especially if you look for fur coats on eBay or someplace like that ;-) You can get some of the other furs on eBay too; the older coats are inexpensive when compared to new/unused pelts, but fox fur still runs in the hundreds of dollars... *sigh* -sunny ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Rabbit - was: What kind of fur would you use for this?
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.

One thing to look at also as a source is a second hand store or Salvation army clothing area. I have found some old mink or beaver coats there that make great costume additions. I have a beaver coat that looks just like mink. It's soft and delicate but extremely sturdy! It doesn't shed much either. It is an awful coat by the cut of it but the fabric/leather/fur is the reason I bought it...to use as something else. A fur cape maybe one day.

Someone told me that rabbit (and cat) are one of the few furs that sheds I used rabbit(s) for a cape over my Arthurian cavalry armour many years back (I figure they did not just kill dragons) and it is still in one piece, no shedding. Tanning quality perhaps? I dunno but after 15 years I am still able to handle it roughly, -C. PS: Maybe it was a Python rabbit?

Re: [h-cost] Rabbit - was: What kind of fur would you use for this?
I would troll thrift shops and antique stores and try to find a very blonde mink or beaver jacket, or a pale grey coyote stole. Mink and beaver wouldn't have as long a pile as it looks like the fur in the portrait does, but coyote is probably longer than whatever that is (ermine?).

You are right about rabbit -- it usually sheds like crazy no matter what you do. Does it really? I just found some rabbit pelts at a local hobby supply store, and was wondering what I could use it for. Shedding is annoying. :( Claudine ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Rabbit - was: What kind of fur would you use for this?** NOT BUN!
wear a rabbit coat and it will look like a snow storm when you take it off.God help you if you shake it. In fact Miss Manners in the 1950/60 had a reminder bulliten out at prom time telling young ladies NOT to wear bunny fur wraps to prom or Cotillion,as they would shed all over the dark ROTC boys dress uniforms and make a terrible mess. Right now I'm all for very nice,expensive faux furjust NO DRYERS please.(Had a very soft,shineymink spread ,which after a trip thru the hot dryer,now resembles Buffalo hide.)

I've been following the thread with interest. And thanks Melody for the warning about hot dryers and faux fur, as I have some that is soft and very thin, and I don't want to destroy it. I think air drying sounds good.
