sabine32 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi, this is my first post. This Forum is great. I had registered for some time - now my first post. I'am from germany sorry for my english I would buy a russian Suirrel Fur from ebay. I had never feel squirrel fur in my live - only chinchilla, some rabbits and bluefox. Could i compare Squirrel as softly as chinchilla? I dont like roughly fur. So i am looking for a cheaply alternative similarly chinchilla. Thanks for answer. cya Sabine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReFur Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Squirrel is silky soft. I love it. Russian Squirrel use to be one of the most sought after of the furs. But, it is nothing like Chinchilla. Chinchilla is fluffy dense fur that can only be compared with its great impostor Rex Rabbit, which I HIGHLY recommend. Both furs are wonderful! Just each in a different way. So, glad you decided to post and please continue to. We have a great group here! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Sable and Chinchilla Like Gold and Silver. In the meantime we live with lesser furs. I've expressed my fondness before here my love for Squirrel, especially Russian Squirrel. 3 dark dyed capes will line one of my jackets soon. I prefer it any day over Rabbit.

Worker 11811 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have to put my vote in for the rex rabbit too. We've got some Bears that are made from rabbit and they feel very soft. There's a baby alpaca Bear whose fur is so soft it makes your fingers tingle when you touch him. But as soft as his fur is, it is just a little "wirey". Never had the pleasure of touching squirrel. I'll have to put it on my list. Welcome Sabine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worker 11811 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Bears only bite the cookies! <== The fluffy, white Bear over there... He's the one made from Alpaca. Sometimes, when we sit on the sofa to watch television, I'll catch my wife petting him! He doesn't seem to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I just have to agree with everything that both Paul and Linda have had to say about squirrel fur. Russian squirrel fur was one of my childhood passions and I still recall some exciting teenage experiences in a long grey squirrel fur coat belonging to a family friend. That, as they say, is another story, but I have owned several squirrel furs since then, and I have a very nice 3/4 Russian squirrel fur coat today. Much as I enjoy my rex rabbit furs - sadly I don't yet have a chinchilla fur coat, but I do know how delightful they feel, and that is yet another story - my Russian squirrel is still an absolute delight. I do go along with Paul on this - if the quality and the price are right, do go for it. You will love it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
