utyer 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 There are plenty of mink products on ebay. Not sure about quality. I used to be able to get all the mink, and fur scraps that I wanted from a fur store. The alterations and repairs they do on older furs leave a lot of small pieces they don't have any use for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockworm 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 I bought mine through eBay. Scraps from the garment industry are OK- they are soft-tanned and won't disintegrate in water, but I prefer to buy whole skins. If you want long fur get a large skin, preferably with a winter coat. Just make sure it is labelled "garment- or "soft-tanned". You can get some real deals, but I would avoid anything labelled "vintage". (If it has glass eyes or clasps- it is probably old and possibly ratty.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontheo 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 i WOULD AVOID ANY FUR SCRAPS FROM GARMENTS OR THE GARMENT INDUSTRY. THEY TEND TO SHEAR THEM DOWN FOR UNIFORMITY WHICH REALLY SCREWS UP USING THEM FOR DUBBING AS IT IS HARD TO SEPERATE THE GUARD HAIR FROM THE SOFT HAIR. MOSCOW OR COFFINS ARE GREAT. I HAVE DEALT WITH THEM BOTH. COFFINS SHIPS RIGHT AWAY AND JUST SENDS YOU AN INVOICE. T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
