It actually makes outerwear feel more thoughtful and practical, especially when you think about warmth and durability. It also reminds me how useful something like a shearling jacket can be when you want comfort and style together in everyday winter wear.

Choice is your right, to use, or refuse.
Protect your rights for choice.
Protect renewable resources.
Educate the misguided , they can choose not to use, but they aren’t making my choice.

In reply to Shannon. Pay for quality leather conditioner. They don't go rancid. Whale oil used to work great, but guess why you can't get it anymore.

In reply to Maryellen Barry. Buy a small bag of charcoal briquets. Not the kind with added starter fluid. Charcoal works great at absorbing odors. Of course you don't want the charcoal to touch your fur. I'd try putting them both in a closet that is enclosed. Give it a month. Make sure you open the bag of charcoal.

In reply to Shirley Underwood. Just like leather can be reconditioned, so can the leather side of a fur coat, with a good quality leather conditioner.

Comment on Fraser Valley Mink Farms: The Hidden Community Loss by Alan Herscovici

Well said, Tim. We can only hope that the BC government will one day be called to account for their completely unjustified shutdown of BC’s responsibly-run mink farming. All Canadians should be outraged by this arbitrary action (the only North American jurisdiction to close down mink farming!)…and especially for the refusal to provide full compensation to farm families.

A perfect example of re-inventing the wheel.. the principles of the animal based clothing that the Indigenous peoples of the North use have been well known by Canadians for decades, if not centuries. The problem for the average Canadian individual serving in the North is that they are not indigenous. Their leaders are caught in the trap of trying to be politically correct – as defined by the animal rights corporations – at the expense of the women and men in their organizations. Canadian hunters and trappers, from all communities, can provide the raw materials to equip those who have to serve in the North but they cannot force those in power to buy the materials or arrange to make the needed clothing.
