Hi all,
I bought this jacket online recently as faux fur, but having arrived as real fur I'm now wondering if it is real Ocelot, or just printed to resemble the markings. I've never come accross real Ocelot in person so am not familiar with the texture etc., could anyone give me their opinion?
I haven't found any info on the maker, De Bella, other than coats listed for sale as fur or faux fur.. The fur itself is fairly short and smooth except for places where it has been rubbed over time and become more coarse. If it were real and not, say, printed to look like Ocelot, would the marking colour go all the way down to the skin? Although I read that the fur is paler than the rest of the coat beneath, if that's what Wikipedia was refering to?
The mighty Wiki also says that the Ocelot was classified a "vulnerable" endangered species from 1972 until 1996, but is now rated "least concern" in 2008- anyone know if that has affected the selling regulations?
Thanks everyone!
