It's okay to wear vintage fur

This position holds that wearing vintage fur is acceptable even if buying new fur is not. It argues that second-hand fur funds no modern fur farms or fresh cruelty, and that, being naturally organic, it is greener than chemically treated new or faux fur.

  1. Vintage fur is environmentally friendly
    By buying second hand, buying vintage fur is more environmentally friendly than buying a new, non-fur jacket.
  2. Buying vintage fur doesn't contribute to the fur industry
    The issue of buying fur lies with the current fur industry. "Vintage" fur does not contribute to the current industry because it was usually produced decades ago.
