I am a new fur buyer, but I need help in determining the fur types to a stole (Truesdell) and a jacket (no label). Both materials are very soft, and the seller believed it to be mink. But after reading about Muskrat fur vs. Mink fur vs. Sable fur, I need help in confirming the fur type. Thanks

Hi, I cannot pin down the type of fur on this hat. Driving me nuts! I've been over the resource page 3 times. And perused the internet over 2 days. Ugh. I need some help. The fur is very lightweight. Light brown almost reddish very soft downy under coat. Darker brown shiny guard hairs. The...

Hi everyone! I recently picked up this beautiful coat with a fur collar and have been trying to identify what type of fur it is - maybe fox? The undercoat is very fluffy and striated and the long wispy strands are black/dark brown to white. Also, there is a Henri Bendel tag! Maybe 1940-50s? But...

hi Everyone, The lining has "Paris" and "Schiaparelli" insignia on it but no other label other than the store one....wondering if this is rabbit or dyed beaver? thinking 1960s....it's the closest match in the label resource? Thanks for any input. Lauren
