Snowwhite 0 #26 August 27, 2004 Hear Hear! Not only that, but my good furs are DOZENS of years old. I have a leather coat that is at least 30 and will see 30 more winters.

That would be a good point if the Alps were all that cold!! Cold... Fur cold... Is when you've gotta set a fire to burn overnight under your truck so the fuel is warm enough to flow in the morning! At the end of the day, Innuit wear goretex, thinsulate, outlast and artificial fleece if they're popping out for 5 minutes in the summer.... Overnight in winter calls for fur! Mike. PS: I've got a "warm" suit. one piece, ski / storm cuffs at wrists and ankles, Hi-abrasion Goretex, thinsulate liner. It works in a C-206T at 12,000'+ in UK winter with no door (figure minus 30 or more). But it aint furs. God I miss my furs. Should have brought them home when I could. Anybody going out to Ambardakh or Tiksi in the near future and wants to bring me back a "wee Souvenir"?Mike. . Mike. . Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.
