However, it is almost always lower quality than real fur; it usually sheds and does not hold in as much warmth as real fur.

Not all fake fur is used in clothing, however. Fake fur is very commonly used to make toys (especially teddy bears and other stuffed animals) and home decorations like pillows. It is also sometimes used for craft projects because it can be sewn on a sewing machine (real fur is better quality but requires a special machine on hand sewing; also, an awl may be required to sew it).

There are no synthetic materials yet to achieve the same attributes from natural fur (especially wolf's fur) from keeping snow from melting and re-freezing on the fur's fiber filaments, this is very important especially in hiking, mountain climbing, skiing and other outdoor activities which are done in extreme conditions.

Fun fur garments were very popular at early raves, in part because people under the influence of ecstasy enjoyed its texture.
