If one is really conflicted, why not try mouton fur. I can tell you that a real mouton is not only not as expensive, but looks and feels fabulous. Plus!!! its much warmer than regular furs (mink, fox, monkey, etc). Well monkey fur is sold on ebay. If one is really conflicted, why not try mouton fur.

I have been hunting high and low for a fake version that looks really good. The bolero was as close to it as I ever got. But the hunt continues!
