That’s an interesting observation, Dusty, and we’ll look into it. Hopefully we can report back soon.

However, do you have any information why mountaineers don’t/rarely wear fur brims on the hoods of their jackets (i.e. not seen on those who summit Mt Everest)? The main reason for fur is to protect the face against the wind, and at those high altitudes wind is a big issue as well. Is it due to heritage, type of wildlife in those regions, manufacturers just don’t use it for their garments, or…?
Am I wrong in my observation?

Thanks

Hi Connie, can you send a photo of the kind of anorak you’re looking for to info@truthaboutfur.com ? Maybe we can help.

I added both fox and coyote fur to all my hooded winter coats and it really does make a
big difference! I live in the high mountain region of Colorado, so am grateful that I have this. Now I would like to locate somewhere to
buy an inuit-style pullover anorak? Do you have any idea where I should look?
Thank you,
Connie Qualey

Unfortunately, it is too late to save the pelt at this point; time to consign it to the compost.

I have bought a few old furs that just fall apart when I try to sew them. Can anything be done to help restore the pelts?
