If you are making the costume for a young child, don't be afraid to change the fabric to something soft, like corduroy or light weight cotton. I once made a lion (used a pattern) out of corduroy and fake fur and the Phantom's cape out of cotton/polyester chintz. For a viking, we had a viking hat and his cloke made of corduroy, worn over regular clothing. A bunny made out of a sweat suit with the tummy and cotton tail made out of fake fur with purchased bunny ears. The materials made the costumes a lot more comfortable whether it was cold or hot outside. They also were easy for children who weren't thrilled about wearing strange clothing. My youngest needed to recognize himself in anything he wore, but he loved being a lion or any other animal.

Fake fur is a type of textile fabric fashioned to simulate genuine animal fur. It is known as a pile fabric and is typically made from polymeric fibers that are processed, dyed, and cut to match a specific fur texture and color. First introduced in 1929, advances in polymer technology have tremendously improved fake fur quality. Today's fake furs can be nearly indistinguishable from the natural furs they imitate.

Yes, animal fur is usually much softer than faux fur. Real fur does not 'knot' when it gets wet or is exposed to wind. It also does not get brittle and stiff when it gets old. Real fur will really 'wave' in the wind, while fake fur will usually stay stiff and still.
