maktak Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I observe that Korean fashionistas have something of a penchant for large-ish fur hoods; every winter, I trawl though online inventories (more recently, instagram). To my delight, the paradigm of the oversized, extra-voluminous raccoon hood has caught on wonderfully this season. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHand Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It seems Koreans started wearing a lot of real fur in the recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 They are great! I have bumped in to one at the mall, who had the hood up. They don't see where they going and to add it, she was on the phone. But i didn't mind it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't see where they going and to add it, she was on the phone. But i didn't mind it at all. Enviable! I wish there were more hoods big enough to make girls careless with walking. Great find! Fur seems to be very popular with Koreans. Hope you can find more Thanks, I hope so too. I spend too much time rolling my eyes, sifting through silly things that look like dyed barbershop refuse. So a large raccoon hood is a welcome sight. I would settle happily for a faux one, though, were it appropriately sized. These hoods always exert a special pull on me because they represent a fairly innocuous (dare I say, sly) way for girls to add a real flair to their outfit without going outright triple-XL platinum fox. I like to think that some might even find themselves enjoying the hood more than they can consciously justify.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maktak Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 In the interim, why restrict yourself to Korean offerings? (I do so because even the Chinese sellers rip off their photos; they're just that good-looking.)

Jonasfoxluvr Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just like you, I also share the same interest on finnish raccoon fur parka(for me faux fur will also be acceptable, but must be in large size). And I usually look for these beautiful coats' photos on Taobao and Aliexpress. One more thing, I think the trend of fur hood not only appear in South Korea, but also become more popular in other East Asia such as Taiwan, China... More women like to wear parka with big fur hood and it is enjoyable to walk around the street during the cold days. (sorry for my bad English ) The fur parka you posted above is beautiful!! Btw here are some of my fur parka photos collection app.php/gallery/image/39691 app.php/gallery/image/39692 app.php/gallery/image/39693 app.php/gallery/image/39694 app.php/gallery/image/39695 app.php/gallery/image/39696 app.php/gallery/image/39697 app.php/gallery/image/39698 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More women like to wear parka with big fur hood and it is enjoyable to walk around the street during the cold days. (sorry for my bad English ) Don't apologize for your English haha. I sometimes feel like all hoods should be made some grades above the standard "XL" because more often than not the resulting photos look nothing like an "XL" - again, the wispy and thin result tends to disappoint. I tend to do Taobao; I had not thought of Aliexpress. Then there is the shortlist of designers whose websites I visit every winter, found mainly through Taobao vendors' carelessness in forgetting to remove and / or watermark names. Really? I wouldn't know, but that's great to hear! In Taiwan there are glimpses here and there of greatness, but even in freezing weather you're still hard-pressed to see anything really pushing the "XL" label in the capitol. Maybe I have a skewed view of Korea from trawling all these websites. I love those pictures you linked, especially the first few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonasfoxluvr Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Love those pictures you posted above, particularly the coat with original fin raccoon collar !! Indeed it is quite strange that I am now replying a post which started and "ended" two months ago Btw, the trend of winter coat with large fur collar seems to begin in recent years. In the past (around 90s and early 2000s), there are no such fashion trend . I just wonder where and when such a trend starts. Lastly, could you share the shortlist you used to browse?

Cyclobasti Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 As I stated in another thread, I love the look of the natural raccoon fur. When I see a girl with such a jacket on I immediately find her attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasfoxluvr Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think some girls indeed like fur collar more than just for fashion trend. And I like the way they like and enjoy those fluffy and large raccoon fur collar. But summer has already come, and global warming causes a longer summer, winter will take ages to come. So we have wait a long time to see those collar again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maktak Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Bumping this dated topic to share two short instagram posts with very rough translations from Mandarin: "This fur hood is huge. [unintelligible]" "This fur hood is way too big. You can't even see my face." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasfoxluvr Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 First, thank you so much for your information! The translation is correct and looks like both women love those parkas too! Last but not least, more and more women in China, Korea and Taiwan are willing to wear parkas with large fur collars in recent years. It will be very glad to have some "fur-sightseeing" in the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejoe420 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Got to admit, i do have a thing for seeing asian girls wearing fur, and this thread has definitely made me smile today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
