Was she wearing leather shoes by any chance?

Silly woman. Why shouldn't you wear your hat. Your conscience is clear you know it's fake.
I inherited a very nice dark brown fake fur jacket from mum. Anyone within 10ft and with any sense could tell it was fake but I've been too embarrassed to wear it more than once or twice. Silly of me I know.

Totally agree with the others. What a silly woman. It looks like we are heading for another cold spell so your warm hat will be very useful.

I have a leather sheepskin lined coat that is lovely and warm. Wouldn't be without it.

I saw an article ( can't remember where ) some time ago about imported fake fur trimmings which turned out to be not fake ! cat , dog , rabbit were all detected and sold as fake fur .......... yuck !!

How ludicrous! Last I heard it is still a free country and you can wear what you like.
What a silly woman. Difficult to understand why she thinks she has the authority to disturb your peace because what she has done is actually an arrestable offence under the Public Order Act 1986.

Wear your hat! You know it isn't real fur, so don't worry what anyone else thinks.

All nonsense - you wear your fake fur. None of her business. I have a fake fur coat - but it is pale pink!

I have a mock fur 'Russian style' hat that I've worn outdoors over the last 3 years, it keeps my ears warmsmile. I got it from New Look, so it's obviously not the real thing.

Yesterday for the first time I had a snide remark from a young woman who on passing me hissed 'Fur - murderer'. I was shocked and stopped her to explain that it's not real fur, but she argued the toss responding it was wrong to wear even imitation fur. As an active anti blood sports person, I'm feeling rather confused and shaken by this.

What do other GN'rs think about wearing nylon fur? I've looked for a similar design hat in different colours (eg: purple) but it only only seems to come in beige 'rabbit' or grey 'wolf'?, 'squirrel'?
