Actually, Alicat, my mom (who liked the vest on me) actually said the same thing - "And if you ever need a Sonny Bono costume, you're set!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-467532 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:36:00 +0000 Cilleena 467532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I haven't asked my DH, but he LOVES the fur lined white bomber hat I got last year. He has one too, but much more "manly". We are from the burbs, but moved to the country about 5 years ago and get giggles out of the "rustic" stuff people wear. We don't hunt and would never wear real fur (creeps me out). Anyway, he enjoys "snowbunny" types of looks like the bomber hat and he likes edgy stuff and somewhat glam stuff. Faux fur falls into all those categories, IMO, so I think he would like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-467292 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 23:29:33 +0000 Di 467292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I asked my other half his opinion, he replied with a question of his own: why would you skin a Muppet?</p> <p>Pretty sure that's a Nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-467289 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 23:21:37 +0000 rachylou 467289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was shopping with bf yesterday. His response to the faux fur gilet that caught my eye was 1) hilarity, 2) more hilarity at the thought of anyone wearing such a thing on the street, and 3) even more hilarity at the thought of me being hunted down by PETA.</p> <p>Ahem. Yes, I would say faux fur is not even in the realm of possibility in his book. LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-467196 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:41:10 +0000 Janet 467196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, that made me laugh so hard!

My husband likes a very classic look and anything edgy always makes him pause. Fur is too much for him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466957 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:19:26 +0000 Anonymous 466957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a segment of the population who can remember the 1960's and 1970's clearly, furry vests will always mean one thing: Sonny Bono.</p> <p><a href="http://www.listal.com/viewimage/1105447" rel="nofollow">http://www.listal.com/viewimage/1105447</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466952 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:17:15 +0000 Vani 466952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine just shook his head and went "Urgh, no, no, no, no, no"! Not that he would ever forbid me from wearing fur or anything, but just would never like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466937 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:07:08 +0000 celia 466937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I asked yesterday and his answer was ". I already told you that I do like your fur vest." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466694 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:33:07 +0000 catgirl 466694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Nancylee, you are a lucky woman! My husband doesn't even know the word edgy.</p> <p>I'm afraid my fur vest is unironic here, since it is entirely possible to see a man at the grocery store wearing a dead wolf hat, face and all, on his head. That's probably why my husband sees my F21 furry vest as a bit silly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466692 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:31:59 +0000 velvetychocolate 466692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So odd - because before I joined YLF and started reading here, my husband picked out a fabulous chocolate brown 'faux fur' jacket for me. My Mom *hates* it - not sure why - but in the meantime, I've gotten a ton of compliments on this jacket. </p> <p>Unfortunately, it's a bit too big on me now (due to ongoing weight loss) but I still love that jacket and wear it anyway, even though it's now a bit "slouchy". </p> <p>Whenever I wear this jacket, I literally have people coming up to me to ask about it. It wasn't anything intentional - just something found at Marshall's - but for some reason, this jacket causes people to comment on it. I wish it wasn't too big, because it's one of the best jackets/coats I've ever owned. </p> <p>That said, I don't know what he'd think of the latest and greatest "faux fur" jackets and vests that are popular now. I have a funny feeling he'd react negatively - not because there's anything wrong with faux fur, but ....because it's out of the norm for me. I'm betting he'd probably even laugh, while pretending not to....</p> <p>And yet, he tries really hard to keep an open mind, and has been great about my feeble and futile attempts at "fashion." My closet is a total disaster - there's nothing coherent or cohesive about it - and the last time we had a chat about this, he just simply said, "You're trying out new things..." </p> <p>Meaning, even if I have boho, modern classic, edgy, preppy - all at once - he thinks it's kind of neat. He never knows what he's going to get. </p> <p>This is kind of fun, to be honest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466685 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:29:44 +0000 Kari 466685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not really.</p> <p>I noticed he kind of gave off signals that he thought my outfit (turtleneck, bootcut jeans, brown braided belt, cognac booties, faux-fur vest, and pendant necklace) was goofy, and what he said was "I think you need to commit to the look and really WEAR it." When I pressed him to explain, he said that what bugged him about the outfit was that the faux fur vest looked kind of "stuck on" and random - he wanted to see some other texture (he suggested furry boots) in the same outfit in order for the look to make sense to him. (In my opinion that would be WAY too much of the look.)</p> <p>My dad, however, indicated that he kind of thought it was funny but in a good way. I don't know if he would have the same reaction if my mom showed up wearing it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look/page/2#post-466679 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:26:41 +0000 Debora 466679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine's asleep on the couch right now, but if I had to guess I'd say it would be a nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466669 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:22:11 +0000 nancylee 466669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just asked DH and he gave my faux fur vest a thumbs up. I asked him WHY he liked it. "It's edgy," he said.</p> <p>I feel very lucky. Wore the fur vest out to dinner a couple of weeks ago. He knew I was a little out of my comfort zone, so he kept telling me to walk with confidence. "Act like you've worn it before," he said. Sweetie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466668 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:22:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 466668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, just asked mine too and got "makes me think of that Simpson's episode where Monty Burns is singing 'see my vest, see my vest, see my vest'"! Now THAT'S not helpful at all! (i'm guessing that means "nay"). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466649 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:08:44 +0000 Suz 466649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I asked mine. </p> <p>He said, "If it looks good, fine." </p> <p>Now THERE'S a helpful answer!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466637 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:02:12 +0000 Sylvie 466637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't asked him, but I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be no because it reminds both of us of real fur, even if it's obviously fake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466615 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:43:06 +0000 catgirl 466615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, these answers are fun! I love that those who didn't know the answer went and asked their guy.</p> <p>Nakidra, you're the reason I did this poll. The Target story is too funny.</p> <p>I say yay to more husband/partner polls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466595 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:05:44 +0000 Nakidra 466595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you all know what mine did/said ... so funny! It's a big fat NAY!!<br /> It's funny because I just bought my vest last night at Target in the girls' section. It was just the two of us on a sexy date to Target and I was wearing it around the store while we were shopping. When we got to the checkout he said .... "Oh Honey... you forgot to take that vest off." I said, "I'm getting this!" Then he started laughing ...<br /> Maybe he was laughing because it's from the girls' section .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466549 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 23:53:58 +0000 Amy 466549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband picked out the faux fur coat I bought years ago, so I suspect he likes it in general. I'm not sure what his opinion would be on a vest though. He's strongly in favor of practical over fun and since I'm always cold, he'd be concerned about my exposed arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466526 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 23:25:39 +0000 rae 466526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not in vests or chubbies, but he does like it to trim parkas or on the collars of jackets. He says it makes me look like a snow bunny... ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-if-youve-got-a-man-does-he-like-the-faux-fur-look#post-466443 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:35:07 +0000 Scarlet 466443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I asked. First he needed examples so I showed a couple of coats for sale online that I like. Ridiculous! he declared. I rather suspect that this is one of those things he could come around to though. I think he would at least see the fun side of it. </p>
