Animal Fur Clothing


Fur is generally thought to have been among the first materials used for clothing and bodily decoration. The exact date when fur was first used in clothing is debated. It is known that several species of hominoids including Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis used fur clothing.

Fur is still worn in most countries and may be associated with lavish spending, although an increasing number of consumers and designers reject fur because of cruelty.Fur is still used by indigenous people and underdeveloped societies, due to its availability and insulation properties. The Inuit peoples of the Arctic relied on fur for most of their clothing, and it also forms a part of traditional Russian, Scandinavian and Japanese clothing.
