Going back to fur, I feel that if it's going to be used, it'd be much better if old fur coats were being recycled instead of new fur coats being created. However I don't want to derail your original post/intention, have you googled vegan winter coats? I found quite a few interesting links: http://getskinnygovegan.blogspot.ca/2010/12/vegan-coat-picks.html

ETA: This looks good to me too: http://www.finisterreuk.com/pipistral-midnight.html
Thanks for the links maccers. I am definitely going to check them out.
The fur company won't make less fur if you recycle so that's why I suggested donating to an animal charity. If you were interested.
I probably use kwim way too much lol. I don't even text but I find myself taking the lazy way out lots of the time these days and just abbreviating/using acronyms.![]()
Missy - I've never heard about donating the coats to animal charities. I'm in regular contact with the rescue group where I got my dog from, I'll contact them as a starting point! A couple of beaver coats may be coming their way (sorry, great grandma!)

(I'm sure your great grandmother would be proud or at least understand).
