paul2809 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Are fox fur stoles/boas good to wear with any kind of clothing? Asking for information on this.. I have a mink stole now, and would love to find a fox fur stole to add to my collection
Panther10 Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Fur stoles are typically relegated as being more formal and fancy than a fur coat or jacket. Typically a lady would wear them to a wedding over her evening gown, or to an honorary banquet. Now if you want to buy one for yourself and use it as a collar over an existing jacket thats fine. I'm sure a furrier would be more than happy to make something like that for you. But traditionally speaking, stoles are typically reserved for white tie/ black tie events.
LordTheNightKnight Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 "But traditionally speaking, stoles are typically reserved for white tie/ black tie events." Though Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret seemed to find lots of times to wear their fur stoles. Then again they managed to be formal events all by themselves. 😉

paul2809 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 I have the intent of wearing a fur stole out ....
minkme Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Maybe Panther is right. A fur stole is not big enough to keep someone warn like jacket or coat. A stole can fall off the shoulders if the wearer moves around a lot. It is kind of designed to wear to cover the shoulders if wearing a dress or something like that.

They would wear it to film premieres, which aren't informal, but not black tie events either.
paul2809 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 the mink stole I have... has a cut through which was made this way to allow passage from other to slide in sort to hold it together... yes I hear what your saying, but its the way its been made and I bought it used or pre owned from a seller via ebay
paul2809 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 Mahogany mink stole.. with cut through to allow the slide through of the other side... this is what I've thought about possibly wearing out..
dongleboy Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I was lucky enough to find a Russian Sable stole in a charity shop, (thrift shop for out American friends), and had it fashioned into a scarf which has been well admired it the five years I've had it. Unbelievably warm! 1
minkme Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Sable stole/scarf now that's an idea for the guys

Now, this is a royal (Queen Margrethe of Denmark) fur stole :) 1

Nice looking stole. Looks very familiar. I miss it already!
LordTheNightKnight Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 mofur, a stole is NOT graded by size. So please don't try to say "this is better". We all have our tastes. 1

I remember seeing this stole on ebay. I considered buying it myself. But I already have a mahogany mink stole and a mahogany mink capelet. FYI - A furrier can restyle a stole into a scarf or a vest, if wearing stoles isn't your thing.
paul2809 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Posted December 4, 2020 i have always have wanted to own a fur stole....wont be the only one...
