Brush-Tail Opossum, Sheared & Dressed
Luxuriously Soft Sheared Brushtail Possum Pelts
Experience one of nature's most remarkable furs. Brushtail Possum fur is renowned for its exceptional warmth, softness, and lightweight properties. Thanks to the unique hollow-core structure of each hair, possum fur provides outstanding insulation and resists freezing in extreme cold conditions.
Studies and industry sources have reported that possum fur can be:
-
Up to 8% warmer than wool
-
Up to 35% warmer than cashmere
-
Up to 50% warmer than merino wool
These impressive insulating qualities make Brushtail Possum fur an excellent choice for cold-weather garments and luxury fur projects.
Sheared for Velvet-Like Softness
These pelts have been professionally sheared, meaning the longer hairs and coarse guard hairs have been removed to create an incredibly soft, dense, velvet-like finish. The result is a smooth, plush fur that feels amazing to the touch while maintaining its natural insulating properties.
