I was fortunate recently to acquire this beautiful fur coat made from fitch pelts. It is the first one I have ever seen and it is so pretty. Fitch are related to mink , but have unique coloring on their fur. It reminds me of cross-mink in some ways, but is also very different. Fitch are often white or blond colored (like this one) and have a dark stripe down their back that widens as it reaches the tail area and legs. The tips of the fur are also dark. The fur is also a little longer than mink, on this coat anyway, so I'm not sure what size to make. The narrow pelts along with the stripes affect the pattern layout and size too .
I am eager, however. to make a bear from the coat to see what it will look like.
