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. Other naturally occurring fabrics are also used to make fake furs and improve the look and feel of the overall garment. These include materials such as silk, wool, and mohair. Cotton or wool, along with polypropylene, are typically used to make the backings to which the fibers are attached. Rayon, a semisynthetic fiber made from cellulose and cotton linters, is used to supplement acrylic and modacrylic fibers on the garment, as are polyester and nylon. Materials such as silicones and various resins are used to improve the smoothness and luster of fake furs. To complete the look of a fake fur, dyes and colorants are used. If a true imitation is desired, designers match the color with natural fur. However, fashion designers have found that the fake fur fabric has merits of its own and have started using colors and styles that give it its own new, unique look.

An Animals fur is quite simply hair. It is made of protein. It is called fur because unlike human hair, it is not constantly growing and to be classified as hair it has to grow constantly. And animals fur has two layers. The top and undercoat. The top obviously is the one you can see and pet. The undercoat works much like our teeth. Your permanent teeth push up through your gums and you baby teeth fall out. The undercoat does the same thing. That is why your dog or cats fur always stays the same length. You pet simply sheds its coat. Then a new undercoat starts coming in. There are, however, a few animals, such as poodles, that have actual hair that would grow to the ground and farther if you let it.
