FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Was wondering if anyone buys arctic fox (specifically tan) from a someone who sells in bigger quantities? Getting tired of paying $6-7 for a pretty small patch of hair... Flats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whatfly 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2018 Any of the big fur suppliers can be a source for arctic fox, but you would have to be willing to dye the material yourself. You did not mention what type of hair (body v. tail), but I tend to favor tails which you should be able to find in the $20 range (skins are MUCH more expensive). All the usual suspects should be searched (ebay, etsy, etc.) but you might want to check out Moscow Hide and Fur (https://www.hideandfur.com/) which does dye some colors. Used to be some of the shops carried full tails as well, but seems like everyone is selling those overpriced sections these days. Looks like the tackle companies stock it as well, so look at Barlow's Tackle and LurePartsOnline for other possible sources. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
