I have two wool coats with fur collars, one in fine form, one tattered and brittle but still loved. I get a sense of being accompanied when I wear it- me and the coyote against the wind and the cold. To me, they feel ill-at-ease while driving, but are happy to walk cozy winter miles. They have a personality and presence that gore-tex could never.
I'm admittedly very bad at storage and maintenance of my coats. Any tips?
I’m not an expert but taking the fur to a drycleaner/tailor who specializes in fur and leather would be able to condition it, which would definitely preserve it
Ceremonial burnings can be quite cathartic when one does decide to end something like that. (I've burned a lot of old love letters.) Throwing stuff like that in the trash just seems wrong. They need a Viking's funeral. Incense, fire, song, drink.
