Recently, it appears that just as many men as women are appreciating the accessory. Even school kids are becoming vivid consumers, as are adult professionals; and of course, the elegant old-timers who know how to wear, and make, a fur accessory proud. And with the colder winter months arriving, fur scarves are starting to make the fashion rounds.
