Wild Mannered Best Home Fashion Faux Fur Throw - Lounge Blanket - Champagne Fox - 58" W x 60" L - (1 Throw)

Very happy with our Coyote faux fur blanket. So happy, in fact, we've ordered 2 other - mink, & amber fox. We had looked for throw covers but found mostly standard designs, and even the better 'designer' ones looked too pretentious for our natural looking house & decor. Something sparked an idea to look for faux fur - thinking maybe we'd find some cheap but better than cheesy design look. When we stumbled across these, looked at the pictures & read the reviews we knew we had to try one. Coyote was our first (as amber fox was out of stock at that time).I have little experience with real fur. My recollection is that real fur may be a slight touch 'smoother' feeling than these. The best I can currently compare to are some nice sable art brushes I have.Nevertheless - if real fur is a 10, these are a 9.The color blend and gradation is fascinatingly realistic. I ponder 'how do they do that'? Some of them kind of look like pelts sewn together. In the coyote this is less noticeable than in the mink, or in others pictures. Some look more patterned or even striped.If you DON't like patterned / pelt look, the coyote is a good choice.The feel is soft and luxurious. I do not have any sense of the fur 'poking' me. It has a nap to it - so it rubs easier one way than another, but never so stiff as to be uncomfortable.It has weight to it. I like that. Comparison - about the weight of 2 homemade quilts.The backside is a very short 'furry' feeling texture as well. It does NOT look cheap and would make a great blanket in and of itself. It was actually as good or better than what we were hoping to find when we stumbled upon these!We have enjoyed using them with either side in. With the fur side in, it may be a touch warmer, at least initially, as the fur 'hugs' every part of your body. But either way, it is a very nice warm spread.This winter during the record # of snows we had here in NC, I enjoyed sitting in my recliner, wrapped in this, and watching the birds on the feeders through the windows.One thing we do not know yet - how will it perform in the summer? I like cooler weather; my wife prefers warm. Even in the summer though, at the end of the day, with AC going, and activity level coming down to watch a movie or something, it can be a little cool. I wonder if the fur will be too warm for me? I suspect it will still be fine for my wife, especially with the fur side out so there is a bit more breathing inside. I mentioned, we also have the 'mink' and that has shorter fur, so may be interesting to compare then. Will try to remember to update.I have no experience cleaning these. Wife says she thinks she'd dry clean as recommended. Some posters say you can wash in water. But some fear it would 'harden' the fibers. That would not be good, as one of the great features is that they fell luxuriously smooth.We love the largest size - can let it tuck under feet, and pull it up to cover neck & shoulders with no problem. Way better than the shorter armpit to barely over the foot standard comforters we'd been using.Being on the more casual side, I particularly enjoy that when I get up, I can simply leave the spread in a bunch in my recliner - and it always still looks good, unlike the cheaper ones we did have.No funny smells. No shedding. No quality issues here.I'm trying to think of down sides ... and they are all extremely minor.- They are kinda pricey. I have seen a few cheaper faux fur, but they really looked it. And these are no more pricey than the better quality 'designer' throw spreads - which were not nearly as plush.- They are heavy enough and smooth enough that if I let the foot end slide off the side of my recliner, it can sometimes pull the rest of the bottom off of the edge as well. That has never happened with the cheaper, lighter spreads we've had. But a simply kick pulls it all back up just as easily. The weight and luxuriousness is worth it to me though.I do not know how they hold up to spills, stains, etc. - only adults in our house.Barring future surprises we will definitely replace these if / when they wear out unless that is unusually soon.

You know how sometimes when you order an item after you've wanted it for so long, and you've built it up in your mind so much that when it finally arrives you're a bit disappointed? Well, this isn't going to be one of those times. Even after reading multiple glowing reviews and deciding on the kitt fox faux fur throw, I hesitated to order it. I didn't want to invest $155 in something I would be less than thrilled with so I debated, hedged, and chewed my nails for weeks before finally taking the leap. When it arrived I opened the package. I thought the throw was lovely and well made, but getting it was seemed almost anticlimactic and I was nervous. Perhaps I had dreamed of having one for too long and my expectations had grown too lofty; perhaps no fur throw of any quality would ever be able to measure up. Boy, was I wrong!The very first time I laid beneath the soft, graceful folds of this elegant throw to take a nap, I feel in love with it. Dog/animal lovers will understand. It was like snuggling up with a beloved malamute on a cold winter's day, only better. No bed hogging, no sharp nails, no wiggling about, and no messy face slurps; just cozy, comforting warmth - with the feel of plush real fur on top, and a lining of velvety-soft rabbit fur. I ordered the full throw size, large enough for hubby and I to snuggle together. It is heavy, but not not too heavy, and adds a homey, designer appeal to room decor. Although faux, the fur is very convincing. It has a nap that looks and feels real, with enough variance in fur shade, length, and texture to convincingly imitate individual pelts that have been sewn together. In fact, while reading a book or watching television I find myself absentmindedly weaving my fingers through the fur as though caressing a dog (or tame wolf or fox); extremely comforting and relaxing. While some of the other varieties of this fur throw sport shorter fibers with less of a nap and more uniform color, this particular version is perfect for me.Because I am an animal lover, I consider this better than real animal hide. I get the beauty, warmth, and feel of authentic animal fur, without any of the guilt. Would I order another - you bet! (I'm trying to convince hubby that he needs his very own ... perhaps the brown mink?)JANUARY 21 2016 UPDATE: just want wanted to comment that I still love the throw. I use it daily, often sharing it with my kitty who loves either curling up on top of it, or sneaking beneath its warmth when there's a bit of a chill. Also, I recall one commenter pointing out that the lining was not 'tacked' to the upper fur part, which meant there was some shifting. True, but I think it is this very fact that allows the fur throw to drape so gracefully and provides such luxurious folds. I've added a picture of my lovely fur throw waiting for me to enjoy its comforting warmth.MAY 27, 2016 UPDATE: with warm summer months upon us, my beloved kitty fox faux fur throw has been packed away until cooler weather returns. I do find myself missing it though ... dare I hope for chilly weather just so that I can retrieve it from the closet and lose myself within its folds again? No, I'd best enjoy the warm and sunny summer months while they exist, for I know that when it does get cold again I will be reunited with my throw. :)NOTE: I paid full price for my Best Home Fashion Kitt Fox Faux Fur Full Throw; I DID NOT receive it for free or at a discounted price in exchange for an evaluation. So, why did I take the time to write such a detailed review? Because, like you, I depend upon the comments and experiences of other consumers when making an Amazon purchasing decision.

Purchased this to add some color and texture to my bed. I am usually hesitant when it comes to faux furs because a lot of them feel fake. They have this plastic/rough feel to them. After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance. I could always return it right? Suffice to say, these are some, if not - the BEST faux fur throws I have ever had. They are soft, heavy and lifelike. If you didn't order it yourself, you would be hard pressed to believe they were fake. Yes, they are that good!QUALITY- Top notch! The materials used are excellent and you can tell they did not skimp on that when they made this.LOOK/FEEL - The throw is really heavy, thick and luxurious. If you have ever owned an actual fur throw, it's heavy. This throw actually feels like a pelt. The "fur" is soft, supple and again, luxurious. It feels and looks like an actual fox fur. From other reviews, people mentioned "shedding". After opening the package and fluffing it up, there were some hairs that showed up but nothing since during use. No issues there so don't worry. The backing is a complimentary color and is similar to rabbit fur. Again, excellent. The backing does move separate from the front slightly. This is to be expected with a "fur" throw.PRICE - The price may seem high but it's worth every penny and then some. Do NOT hesitate when it comes to that!CONCLUSION- You're not going to get anything this authentic, luxurious or lifelike anywhere else when it comes to faux fur. This is it. Do not hesitate on purchasing this. You will not be disappointed! I liked this so much, I ordered another one in Champagne.
