Brush-tail Possum Pelt
Genuine Brushtail Possum Pelts – Soft, Warm & Eco-Friendly
Brushtail Possum fur is one of nature's most remarkable insulating fibers. Thanks to its unique hollow-core structure, the fur provides exceptional warmth while remaining lightweight and soft. Unlike many natural fibers, possum fur helps resist freezing in extreme cold conditions, making it highly valued for cold-weather garments and luxury fur projects.
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 qualities make Brushtail Possum pelts an excellent choice for coats, cloaks, scarves, hats, mittens, trim work, and other cold-weather apparel. They are also popular for rustic décor, rugs, throw blankets, and crafting projects such as fly tying.
