My Best Fur Find Ever!!!


CoyoteFox

Recommended Posts

Found locally for $20 CAD ($16 USD) on a re-sale website called Kijiji...

Agreed to buy thinking it was a throw-away patchwork rabbit fur jacket, but was absolutely shocked and thrilled when the seller came to the door with a dramatic oversized fox fur jacket...

Ad said it was a large, but the coat is probably XL-XXL... Fur so thick and soft that you just melt into it... 😁

Well done! Are you certain that it's fox? With that texture, it reminds me a bit more of coyote / wolf.

I mean, whatever it is, it's an amazing score. That much volume is cheap at thrice the price. Hope you enjoy it lots.

Thanks... It's 100% fox... Looks that way as its patchwork, and not full pelts---why I assumed rabbit at that price... But it's mostly norweign and blue fox, so no complaints from the sensory department... 🦊

Thank God for people who either hate fur and want it out of their house or don't know how valuable it is to the right audience!

Excellent find.. I use kijiji alot for my furs.. starting to see fewer and fewer though..found a raccoon jacket with huge fox sleeves the other day, but after axking for sizing info, the woman told me she was 5'4 and the sleeves only made it to her wrist..so unfortunately way to small...last winter I got a full length lynx off kijiji for $150! LOL She was the original owner and had to know its value, she just said she doesnt wear it anymore...Β

just curious @WinnipegFurdid you ever share pics of your Lynx full-length? That’s an incredible find and I’m sure that coat has some elegant stories to share. Did she have her name in the lining?

Her initials are in there.. the coat came from a well known furrier that existed back in the 80s/90s in downtown winnipeg... she said she rarely ever wore it , and it just hung in the closet.. I think Ive seen 3 other fur coats all winter here to be honest... its been like that for years here, and we get some crazy weather... yesterday was 0C for the high, tonites low is calling for -30 windchill... after that it turns and goes to the plus side... a few fur days left, but not many.. I just find around 0 its too warm.. Ill still go walk in the park at 0 with a full length coat and hat, but definately get more looks then when its -30 haha
