Furman54 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looking to see if we had any fur lovers in the southeast or southwest fur lovers on here? I know summer is coming so lighter furs shall be worn. AC’s will be buzzing. Ideas of snow gloves and Christmas will be dancing in our heads. Hopefully it will pass soon. xoxo Fur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisfurlover Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Welp as a Texan, wearing furs is almost non existent in the summer or fall for that matter. Heck even spring. However, we do get a couple weeks of real winter cold split between December-January and January-February. When it does get cold here I try to break out my golden sable or black fox fur coat as weather permits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever see women wearing fur out during that time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty split crowd of older women in their mink stoles and such going or coming from church or going out to eat on church days etc, or if you go toward the financial wealthy areas it’s younger women in usually second hand furs jumping on mob wife trend. It’s very rare to see a man in fur unless it’s the rodeo or other events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct…and thus the reason why to crank up the A/C, otherwise these windows will still be waiting for the Frosted Flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently put a red fox vest on layaway at the furriers, but I won’t have it until fall. I couldn’t wear it now anyway so it’s fine, but I can’t wait!

Our golden island are softer in a different kind of way, they do have longer guard hair also most like a long silver fox, but very soft and think under fur (We have a stroller and a 3/4) Crystal is still probably our favourite as I think the dying process makes the blue fox pelts softer🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisfurlover Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) So just went to my furrier and saw this style of hat sitting there as someone was putting it into storage and I’ve absolutely been obsessed with it since I saw it. It’s a beautiful fox fur wide brimmed hat that I think would be wonderful for a winter rodeo. (It had some give to the brim but wasn’t floppy if that helps). To clarify this would not be for me but my beautiful partner (plus I’m not a hat guy, hats don’t look good on me). I wanted to know what the style of hat was called and about how much would it be to have it made? I’ve seen prices ranging from a couple hundred to $600. Any help is appreciated! It kinda reminds me of something you’d see in a 1980/90s fur ad on the front cover accompanied by an oversized and heavy fox fur coat!

FullLengthFox Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Yes I love that style too, there are quite a few sellers who would happily create a custom fur hat for you. I think $600 is a reasonable price, you might get it for less but quality is important too. Edited July 3 by FullLengthFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the question still remains at large: what is the proper name for this style of hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullLengthFox Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I would call it a wide brim fox fur hat. But it also works when you show pictures of what you would like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnwhist Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Madison Avenue Mall just calls it, Large Brim and they’ve been around for 45+ years: https://www.madisonavenuemalls.com/shop/miscellaneous/accessories/fox-and-mink-fur-hat-large-brim-fur-hat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s kinda the guidelines I’ve used for all my furs. But I really appreciate you responding to my post. And yeah, I would call it a wide brim fox fur hat as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
