Crasy question

are most furriers reall picky about people trying on expensive furs for the first time??

I would love to wear a plus size lynx fur coat  for a few minutes...its a dream bucket list item...

Depends. The furrier I go to think is because she only lets me try on furs that she thinks that will fit and not what I select. She also thinks it’s odd that I’m one of her only male clients. One time she let me try a silver fox and it accidentally ripped. Her fault in my opinion because she picked it. Then she told me good thing she picked it or I would have had to owe $800. Owners are crazy.

Years ago when I bought my Timberwolf Parka from a local furrier, I was in the fur vault looking at all the coats (this was still back in the late 90s) I was looking at all the full length fox and coyote coats.. the owner was very animant that "Those coats are reserved for women, and the mens coats were down on the other side" I never went back there after getting the wolf parka... I was in Eatons downtown as well when they were closing out, and tried on an awesome full length coyote coat... I think they (staff) thought it was odd that a man was trying on that coat... but then I was in the Bay before they closed down, and the furrier there didn't care and let me try on anything I wanted! All depends on where you go it seems...
