To wear a real fur coat

Off to the revival and have found a real 1950s vintage dress all picked out it needs a few bits mended but it’s perfect. I need some kind of 1950s shawl or coat to go with it As I get cold easily. I was thinking of buying one but then realised my mum had my grandmas real fur stole and a few coats in storage. Im very against real fur normally but as it’s a vintage event and already an old coat would it be ok.

Wear it, enjoy it and tell people it’s fake.

Not RTFT but I wonder if we will change our minds about furs. If an animal has died of natural causes, I don't see a problem with eating them and using their fur. I do have a problem with killing them for their fur.

However, the reason I wonder whether we'll change our mind is the environment and impact of microplastics. Synthetic fibres are very bad for the environment and may well also be bad for our health, given microplastics are being found in lungs and blood. It maybe that we move back to more natural materials, including animal furs.
