kev86 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Indeed, with weather like this and a fur convention, it should be perfectly reasonable to see more furs and take full advantage of them... Let's hope the convention is interesting and there's a lot of choice! It must be truly incredible, and I would have loved to attend if I were in Canada.
WinnipegFur Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 Funny this morning..met the lady in the park this morning with my raccoon on.. we stopped and chatted briefly..she said your smart have your muskrat out... I didn't bother correcting her but thought it was funny.. we crossed paths again and she said you just walk the loop here..I said normally , she said she lives around the area and walks in..so I said where's your fur coat!! Hilarious she says evidently I have the market cornered and there aren't any 😂 1 2

At some point, it would be wise to have a clear and precise answer on this. By the way, were you able to visit the convention?

This morning was pretty mild for here.. -7, I wasnt going to bother with a morning walk but decided otherwise... hadnt worn my full lenght coyote/white fox in a while, so pulled that on as well as a white knit fox fur hat.. the coat is really long (just past mid shin on me) but the sleeves really could be a few inches longer, so I wore my coyote mitts today as well to fill the arm length gap.. I did my usual loop in hopes of coming across the woman from the past raccoon experience, I thought I saw her coming and was getting all prepared for a how do you like THIS coat comment.. it wasnt her though.. it was another woman I sometimes see and she just stares right through you.. I just kept on walking and glanced at her.. she never says anything, buy you can tell shes angry about fur.... I got off work early, so went to the other park.. by now its -4 out... for me.. thats pretty warm... fur coat weather... kinda... was it cold enough for all the fur I had on... probably not, but hey, Im here, and lets go for a walk around the skating pond... when I got back to the shelter there was an older lady walking.. probably European, she didnt look to happy either.. she looked me up and down a few times.. but with her I said Hello how are you doing... she then almost snapped out of her stare and said she was doing good and kept walking.. she was in her car by the time I walked another loop, and she was still staring at me LOL Its a pretty awesome coat for sure, and can see why it gets some stares..I don't know if she was a fur angry stare.. I know the one in the morning is pretty angry though hahahaha... unfortunately, its a -1 overnight low, so I think fur is out of the question for me tomorrow unless there is nasty wind... could always just pull out the wolf or lynx parka instead... We will see... 3
kev86 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Oh, such a shame for you... It's not easy to found a fur coat with perfect sleeves when we are a men, myself I don't bought fur for the reason. Really hard to find a fox or coyote... A great fur walk but those ladies are not friendly hahaha... People are angry or totally fan, both sides. European lady doesn't understand your fur looks because she never saw it before. Personally, I'm dreaming about a great fur walk wrapped in fur during a Canadian winter. Now, in France we don't have a long winter season, we have humidity, wind is cold but with the rain everyday, I forget the idea of wearing fur. So bad... Yeah, will we see...
WinnipegFur Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Lynx parka with the hood up this morning as the temperature was only -4... Comfortable temp for that coat, there was no wind either though... The lady I talk about fur with was walking but going same direction as me so I reversed tracks to meet up with her.. she started with I love that coat and immediately rubbed the sleeve and said it's so soft.. but then said is it rabbit lol I played dumb and said I think it's lynx.. I went into to tell her about the dirty look from the other lady yesterday with my coyote..we laughed and she said maybe she'll bring some paint next time.. she said she's loves seeing all the different coats... Good morning walk for sure.... 2
abitoni48 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I just had a run in with someone in a fur. Couple of hours ago, too. I was at an NBA game, was standing by on the concourse after the game, waiting for a friend. This girl walks by in what was basically a grey fox fur vest. Not exactly a vest, much longer, but an interesting piece and really beautiful. I was going to take a pic real quick, but I get a bit weird about taking photos of other people in public places, esp without their consent. And, also, mainly the reason I didn't take the photo was she was kind of already by me when I got my camera up. I sort of missed her until she was already somewhat close to me, then realized what she was wearing in front of me. She seemed a bit on the younger side too. It would make snapping a pic of her a bit more weird but also at the same time, it is rather uplifting. Seeing someone young unapologetically wear real fur that is quality like that is a comforting sign of the times in terms of how folks in that age range are viewing the world vis a vis fur. Like I've said, I live in the south. I don't really get to see the nice furs all that often. 3

Good morning walk for sure.... Indeed, it's a real fashion show for her pleasure... Surely, this lady is a real fur lover and she doesn't are shy about stupid people and bad comments, so cool for you! Now, the real target is to understand why she doesn't wear fur during winter season and cold weather. Surely, she will be happy to try it and feel comfortable and elegant for walk to the park. She is really sweet and adorable!
Maine Fur Lover Posted February 7 Posted February 7 On 10/30/2025 at 10:15 AM, CoyoteFox said: We've had similar frigid nights and I've gone out into the backyard to wear my finn raccoon... That familiar heat emanating from the collar as the fur tickles your cheek... Just feels right! 🙂 Rich moms in Toronto are all wearing long oversized faux fur coats this Fall for the cold mornings... Good sign of things to come! I wear my artic fox coat out here in Maine every evening watching the stars and the moon. 5 1
kev86 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 An amazing idea, so cool... Your artic fox coat is really nice!

WinnipegFur Posted yesterday at 12:51 PM Author Posted yesterday at 12:51 PM Anyone had any lucky outings? Ive been working from home all week so shy of the backyard havent been wrapped in fur all week.. Plus we're in a warm snap here, temperatures hovering right around 0 for highs, the lows are still -9 or so, and it been fog/mist in the morning so its that damp cold... Normal highs and lows are still -9 and -19 so I still have another solid month of fur... I think were supposed to get a big snow storm mid week as well! 1
kev86 Posted yesterday at 03:56 PM Posted yesterday at 03:56 PM I don't have a opportunity to wear my fur these days, wind is cold but we have a lot of rain here. Maybe I will have saturday morning a opportunity to wear fur. Saturday morning (0°C) but the feeling will be negative with the wind, I'm impatient to walk wrapped in my mink and leather gloves with rabbit fur lining...
