It feels like real fur
924588
I've had this keychain for over a year maybe even 2 years now. It is sooo soft and does not shed. It feels like real fur. It doesn't feel like that fake plastic type of fur. Finding my keys in my purse is like finding a needle in a hay stack, this key chain saves me time and frustration =) must buy

This stuff is fuzzy.  Feels nice like one of those plush faux fur blankets.  Just what I was looking for.

NOTE:  Its just my preference and personal likes, so please no flames here.  Im here to review the tail.  Not whether real is good or bad.

So, I can overall tell by the smell of the tail that it is likely real.  Im not offended by it, Im actually glad its real because synthetic just doesnt have a nice feel or look to it.

The dye is absolutely gorgeous.  Its so vibrant and sticks beautifully.  Theres no transfer of dye to clothing or bags and such.

Its incredibly fluffy.  Although not as thick as my two other fox tails (which are real).  The length is 15 as compared to my other tails in the photos shown (for comparison: brown is 19, white 17 from top to end of the longest strands).

The tail itself is not 17" -- the ring and chain actually make the tail 19".  I measured the tail I received and it came out to be 16.5" without the chain/ring (including the strands at the end measured), and 19" from top of the ring to the end of the strands of fur.

I am disappointed that the tail lobster clip fell off in the package and the piece that keeps the parts together is not in the package at all.  Im just going to buy a new lobster clasp from hobby lobby next time I go.  But I don't really have a need for it since I use D-rings to clip it on my purse instead.  I added a photo of the lobster clasp partially together.

I did notice when examining the fur, that inner fur is more crimped than the longer fur (see close up photo).

The key chain bit does have a nice little decoration that holds the tail on.

I can't believe I got such a beautiful product for such a low cost.  I get compliments all the time and its ever so soft to the touch.  If your looking for a fake fur product thats outstanding contact this seller.

This was a gift to my brother and he absolutely loves it. He says not only is it cool looking but extremely warm. My only complaint is the Fur is not as fluffy in reality as it is in the picture but it still looks awesome.

It it fluffy and feel good, light, but the only problem is it's kinda hard to keep it clean.. B/c the furs are too long. Overall, good.

I bought this because of recommendations from the Abyssinian Cat Club.  Looking at the brush, I never thought it would work.  It has rubber cone-shaped protrusions on it.  But the fur really grabs onto the rubber!  I'm amazed.  Sometimes the fur flies loose.  Nonetheless, I really like how soft the points were ... it was more like petting my cats, or giving them a massage, instead of brushing them and fearing that they would get poked by hard bristles.  Using this makes me feel better.  I would definitely recommend.

It's soft, but I don't like how you can see the stitching through the fur, especially on the neck.  In the photo, the fur seems thick, but in reality, it isn't.  The eyelashes are pretty cute, and I like that it can stand upright.
edit: the person that I bought this for really liked it a lot, so I'm changing my review.  I still stand by the above comments, but the person that I got this for said it was super soft and very cute.

I bought this to wear while I smoke cigarettes outside as it's crazy windy where I live and I wanted something really warm and cozy. This is undeniably adorable. I was expecting the fur to be softer since other reviewers raved about that and it says "softest faux fur available" in the description. As someone who sews and frequents fabric stores, this simply is not the case. Much softer, silkier faux fur material is available. So while it is soft, the fur has a bit of a grainy feel that I wasn't expecting. I have a larger head, so I was a little concerned about the fit, but it fits fine with room to spare. Overall I really like this product, I just wish the faux fur were silkier.

This is for a costume.  It came and while it is very warm and thick, the fur fell out in a few clumps.  There are no bald spots but there were chunks of brown fur on my carpet.  I would be concerned about how it would hold up with a lot of use.  The fur was also pressed into certain patterns from mailing, so it would need to be fluffed and groomed to appear like the image.  The ears especially looked a little pointy.  The paws were a great height to slide my hands in.  The reverse side had a silk screened image of a paw on it.  the button to hold it together id a little awkward. it fastens very easy and blends in well, but when it is fastened, it pulls the mask over my cheeks and chin at a funny angle. It gets a little too tight on my face.  It will be perfect for my costume, but if I was using this more, it might be a dissapointment.

Beautiful, extremely thick, shiny and soft like a healthy wolf! Love petting it like my husky, without the shedding. So realistic my husband thought it was a real pelt.

It's ok. For some reason I thought the Pom was raccoon fur but it definitely is synthetic. It's cute enough, was cheap, and is warm!

I was skeptical even after reading the 4.5 star reviews - thats just the kind of person I am. I will say that I am highly impressed with with the quality, warmth, and comfort.

Here are some answers to things I was curious about:
- The backing is amazingly soft and smooth feeling (and warm)
- The fur is silky smooth with the grain, against it, it feels very realistic
- The color looks exact as it does in the photo

Feels like real fur and it cute. Doesn't look fake and like a toy. It actually looks incredibly fashionable and makes all of my bags looks great. Everyone is always wanting to know where I got it and touch it because it is so soft. I have to now have one for every bag I have!
