What do you do with real fur coats

[Anonymous]

I have to clear out my mother’s wardrobes. I figured I’d give it all to some charity or other, but I don’t think anyone wants furs in this day and age. Any suggestions? Cut them up for rags or dusters? I’m guessing they were purchased maybe 50 years ago.

I wear them.

Best combo humble brag/virtue signaling post this week.

I would wear them. It's like thrifting but you have fond memories while wearing it, and it's free.

Giveaway in buy nothing group - there is always someone ho will want them. And ignore the posters feigning ignorance oh why you are asking the question.

I don't think anyone is feigning ignorance. Either you wear it or you give it away. It's not like OP purchased a new fur.

Use them to wipe your tears for the poor slaughtered animals.

I wear them. Could they be passed down? I wore mine to Christmas and NYE parties and wasn't the only person doing so. Sadly all my grandma's furs were much too big for me or I would have loved them.

I don't think anyone is against vintage fur.

The animals are already dead, like 50 years ago. just wear them.

OP here, thanks for the suggestions. No bragging or virtue signaling here. I’m a guy, I have no use for fur coats. Just wondering how to get rid of them. Still, it’s DCUM, so I figured there would be some snark along with a smattering of useful answers. Lots of unhappy people out there, myself included.

If they are in a good shape, consign or donate them. People buy vintage furs.

If they are not in a good shape, maybe post them on buy nothing. People who are into crafts might take them for various projects.

You can have them remade into stuffed animals or other articles of clothing, etc. there a whole market devoted to this if you look online. Still it will cost money to have them converted. Do you have any nieces you could pass them down to?

I’m having a similar issue — my MIL died. Now I have two and they don’t fit me. So. They sit in the closet bc I can’t just throw them away

Get a fur vest made from one of them.

Just checked out this website. The only fur coats listed are definitely from Grandma.
