Default Fur Back in Style?

Let the fur fly

Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Prada, Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Oscar de la Renta all showed fur on their fall runways.

I hope so, trappers need to make a living too.

Looks good. Hoping fall rats are worth a some money. Clean out them small sloughs. Looks like the dogs are hairing up. Hopefully be another few weeks.

If the big name designers set the fashion trend this could be good news.

On the down side I read that Greece is stuck with a lot of fur coats due to sanctions on Russia.

24 floats sets, 12 colony and 2 submarine traps going out on Wednesday!

It's middle of October for rats here. I might just mark the runs in the big sloughs. Just going to shoot rats till freeze over. I went hard last fall trapping and caging rats but it seems like 60% were smaller rats.

be even better if companies like patagonia, arcteryx, and northface. begin using fur. alot like canada goose has already successfully done.

won't happen until the Americans get onboard aihts. they're handicapping us IMO.

If someone is anti fur they could care less about aihts, I doubt it would change many minds.

people who are anti fur. will more than likely never wear fur. your correct.

but the majority of consumers are not anti fur.

just like the article says. the upswing in fur is do too eduction and modernization of the industry. ie, aiths.

spent/spend time in the summer with yvon chouinard(owner/founder patagiona clothing company).

there's a big consumer push to get away from synthetics. fur is part of the solution.

hard sell, if not every one is on the same page.

Maybe we should be promoting our fur seperately because I don't think they will ever be on board.
