FURS.

FURS. 



The furs used for livery are usually of dog, coon or bear 

 skin. The last, although more expensive, wears better and 

 is handsomer in appearance than any of the others used. A 

 set of furs consists of a cap, cape, gloves and robe. The 

 shape of the cap should be round, the cape should fall to the 

 elbow, and the gloves be of the gauntlet pattern. The 

 writer's preference is that the cap, cape and robe should 

 always be worn together, never separately. The fur gloves 

 should never be worn separately, but dogskin ones may be 

 substituted.
