sister_raphaelI've been waiting for some fake fur to arrive for a surcote I'm giving a glow up, and it's arrived! It looks very promising!
I ordered from Temu and wasn't terribly hopeful, but quite a bit of their "high quality" crafting pieces are genuinely that... high quality. The thin strips I'm going to be using for the edges of the surcote are indeed just like actual rabbit and I'm very impressed. Some other stuff I got in a wider width for the hems is quite okay but not the same quality. It's pretty good for hems anyway, which will be dragged through the dust and the mud, so I'm happy with that. I may give it a very slight overdye to take the brightness from it so it matches the other fur.
The surcote it's to go on is wool from France, and a beautiful wine colour!
