stretchable animal fur garment?

Question

Anyone know about stretchable animal fur garment? it is unbelievable but my friend said that her firend has purchased in France last year!

Answer 1

First and foremost, people lie when they talk about furs because of furs reputation as a status symbol. It's possible your friends friend wasn't truthful. be that as it may; I've seen fur that has been honeycomb slashed and then painstakingly stitched by hand to stretch fabric, it was a small sample and it was prohibitively expensive and hand made in tiny lots for couture wear only. I doubt that anyone less than a millionaire could afford one of these little garments. There is an alternative and perhaps the alternative is what she meant.

It is possible that the garment wasn't made of a single hide in one piece, instead it was skilfully knitted from a yarn made of dyed fur that is somehow turned into strands. This yarn can be knitted so skilfully that it appears to a single piece of stretchy fur and not a knitted sweater. These pieces, while also expensive are far more affordable and easier to find.

Finally fake furs are quite well made these days and can fool the untrained eye. Fake furs are knitted fabrics and they can be quite stretchy, especially some fake leopards, tigers, cheetahs and other feline based furs. Indeed, if it was a feline based fur it's probable that it was a skillful fake because the trade of these animals is quite illegal.

Answer 2

Animal fur, by nature, won't stretch much. Not more than a millimeter or two, depending on the size. What your friend probably has is faux (fake) fur. To transfer the fur from the skin to a synthetic stretchable fiber would be too tedious and not a very economical process, considering the cost of such a garment would outweigh the rewards of having stretchable fur.
