Faux Fur Coat

Some people think that faux fur coats are tacky, but personally I think that they are the height of fabulous. The great thing about a faux fur coat is that you can get it in any style of animal that you want. You couldn't get a real tiger coat, but a tiger faux fur coat?

Some people think that faux fur coats are tacky, but personally I think that they are the height of fabulous. The great thing about a faux fur coat is that you can get it in any style of animal that you want. You couldn't get a real tiger coat, but a tiger faux fur coat? No problem. Personally, I own several, but my favorite is my faux mink fur coat. There is something about the dark brown soft fur of that clever imitation which I find even more luxurious than my others.

Some of my friends make fun of me for always wearing a faux fur coat. “You are a rich, successful business woman,” they say, “why wear a cheap imitation when you could actually have the real thing?” “Pish Posh,” I reply, and explain to them my love of the faux fur coat. What is tacky isn't wearing a faux fur coat, it is buying something barbaric, cruel, and absurdly expensive when the imitations are so clever as to be almost as good as the original. A fur coat only tells someone that you are rich, something which I don't particularly care if others know or not. A faux fur coat tells people that you are a creature of unique and individual tastes who refuses to follow convention. And that is me to a t.

People often ask me, since i like faux fur coats so much, if I have equal affection felt for other imitation materials. While I do confess a certain fondness for pleather, in that case it is usually much better to deal with the authentic article. For one thing, I feel so much less guilt over buying leather than I would over buying a fur coat. While only one cow was slaughtered to make my leather jacket, dozens of poor adorable little rabbits would have to give their lives to make one actual rabbit fur coat.

Besides that, leather is much softer and suppler than pleather. Although a faux fur coat is often as smooth and pleasant as real fur without the possibility of allergens, between pleather and good leather, there is scarcely more than a similarity. Besides that, leather is not something that you would desire in a fantastic variety of textures and colors, like fur. It comes from only 1 animal, and in only a few colors, so there is no sense in getting pleather in, say, tiger stripes. That would just look tacky.
