Definitely panicking this year before temperatures even drop below zero I have also bought an overkill hat from that company that's now famous for it's cute and fucking expensive little backpacks you see all over Europe.
Of course it's not real fur, but 100% acrylic - yet, looking at the label, it says the hat "contains non-textile parts of animal origin" - and indeed it's the classic little patch with the cute wolf logo that they insist on using real leather for.
I actually went ahead and wrote them an email, asking why they don't just use fake leather or whatever - and they fucking told me that they "don't want their product to fall victim to a throw-away mentality", and thus it has to be leather as leather is durable.
Seriously.
