Max.
to my mind it is never okay to wear fur as a fashion statement - the fur trade in those years being one of the reasons that the aninmals that were plentiful are not now.

i'd also point out that the numptie in my example was wearing a new coat - bought according to her vacuous conversation over the tinterweb from the states.

those who have fur coats to "dispose" of could always give them to a disaster relief charity where they can be redistributed to those who have lost everything and have a genuine need of warm clothing.
