What do you do with real fur coats

[Anonymous]

They’re so tacky. It’s a bygone era for sure.

Ask your nieces before discarding/donating. Vintage fur is popular among college age group.

I'm assuming the vast majority of the people responding are not vegan. So killing an animal to eat it is totally fine but you MUST throw away the fur becasue it's horrible and unethical to use every part of the animal you killed for food? I don't get the outrage. It's just dumb virtue signaling.

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.

Men can wear fur coats.

Only if they A) are in costume B) want to look like a 70s era pimp and C) enjoy being laughed at.

Didnt he say he was getting rid of his mother's coats? He's definitely not interested in these options.

Are you under the impression that was a witty comment? I have a coat made out of rabbit fur. I eat rabbit meat. Would you like some recipes?

I’m vegan and I have furs from relatives who were going to discard them. That feels so wrong.

I'm actually a witty vegetarian, so no.

OP, I have a similar situation. I have a few from family members. I don't like the feel of them and even if I did, they don't fit me. You can donate them like any other coat, you can try to sell them to a furrier (or see if they will take them if it's not for the money), some local artists will take them and turn them into other clothes, decor, or PETA and other places will take them to donate.

I feel mine were cared for, but not as well as they should have been - I don't think there is much monetary value. They weren't stored at a cleaner for example. But it feels weird to throw them away.

Good for you. I’m not so I don’t see anything wrong with eating meat or wearing the fur.

I wore my grandmother’s coat to my nieces wedding and reception.

Trade it in for a real green dress.

But not a real fur coat, that's cruel. Nor a green dress. That's also cruel.

Game recognizing game.

I'm jealous I didn't get to this first.

It's funny. I had lunch with a friend today who was wearing a fur vest over a blouse. I had on a fur wrap. We both agreed that we are never giving up our fur. Yes, we still wear them.
