Unfortuntely (from Hide and Fur website):

# Because of these fees and the difficulty involved, orders under US$ 5,000 are not practical


I'm sure the crack's the same with company who's link I posted. Back to the drawing board.

I have just bought a mink coat from a charity shop!
It should yield enough for a few hood ruffs!

[LM J]

Lucky so and so

Out of interest, Chris, how much did it set you back?

 

[Chris the Cat]

£20 mate!
Get down to your local charity shops and ask!
The woman told me that they don't put them out on the shopfloor
but often get them in!
I should have enough over after my parka and snow smock
so i will give you a shout.
Take care.
Chris.

 

[LM J]

That would be fantastic, mate!

I move to the lakes in September and am planning to hit the charity shops then.

Atb!

 

[Chris the Cat]

I didn't mate, but it is on my 'to do' list.
The mink I had, from an old coat was not quite right so the seach goes on.
Great cold weather over parka tho! Fab in the woods , over wool.
You use yours much?
Take it easy.
Chris.

Points to note when asking in charity shops is to check which charity shop it is first.

This afternoon the RSPCA were none to happy when I asked for any real fur items.

Shop went from this: to this in a nano second.

I'd negotiated Cancer UK, Slavation Army, Age Concern,British Heart Foundation to no avail, apparently "they don't stock fur. Ever"

Strange for a town reknowned for hunting.

Then I remembered one at the end of the street..... it all went Pete Tong from there......

Gonna try PETA next?

Might as well.

Can someone tell me what advantages the fur/imitation fur ruff provides? Wind-blown snow collector? windbreak?

Oh, and if anyone has a spare M65 parka XL liner, I'm in the market!

Windstopper round the face. It really adds some warmth and stop draughts into the hood.

The faux fur ones aren't as good as real generally and collect more snow but both function.

Yup - led astray by bad men at a midlands meet - again. I won't spoil you all so much with my exotic, smooth liqueurs in future - I'll bring something rough along next time
