The wearing of different furs was an indication of status, so people in a village could only wear certain types. Hare, badger, polecat, weasel and stoat fur was available free in the countryside - it was also quite insulating and warm. Rabbit fur was definitely not available, since rabbits were all kept in warrens and strictly owned by landholders (rabbit fur was generally quite expensive).
Wolves were still abundant in remote parts of the coutryside, but anyone who killed a wolf would take the whole animal to the authorities to claim a financial reward - they were not permitted to keep the pelt. King John offered 60 pence (five shillings) for every wolf pelt, a huge sum of money at that time.
In towns and manor-houses, aristocrats and wealthy merchants might wear rabbit furs, or imported white weasel fur (ermine) or the grey winter fur of red squirrels from the far north of Europe (gris).
