<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lorna Gillians, post: 2966367, member: 17132&quot;]Yes, it is absolutely gorgeous, but if I were you I would pretend it is fake fur (faux), unless you want a huge back-lash for wearing fur, even if it was killed several years ago. At first I thought maybe silver fox, because of the length of the pieces, but it could be mink, judging by the stiff guard hairs over the top of the pile. However, I can&#039;t see any joins in the long pieces. I always thought mink came in small sections, and that was quite obvious - but I am no expert. NO - do not shorten it. Part of it&#039;s beauty is the luxurous length, and the fact that it will keep you warm from top to toe. I hope you have cold enough weather to wear it. Here in UK we never get cold winters now, so furs and sheepskins have been abandoned. Pity - as I have some beautiful sheepskins and a really lovely shorty white mink jacket. And, no, I would NEVER admit to wearing real fur - even though mine is from the 60s. I am vegetarian, but I still say if it was killed some decades ago, it would be a real shame if all those animals died in vain, when we can still admire the beauty that they sacrificed their lives for. I certainly hope daveydempsey is wrong about Denmark and the minks. I understood that fur farms had been outlawed a long time ago in civilized Europe. I certainly know that fairly recently fox fur farms in Russia have been abandoned, complete with the foxes, which were left to die of starvation, because there is no call for furs any longer. It sickened me to the stomach. PLEASE only ever buy vintage furs. Wear with pride in memory of the animals, but keep your mouth shut about their origin!!&nbsp; Lorna[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
