Duckster,

That is impressive stuff. A gal that worked with me while back used to talk about her father's work as a furier. He made and repaired Mink coats. From what she said, I surmised that a coat was not a bunch of Mink skins sewn together. The skins were cut into strips that were made into the coat.

The funny part was the repair of a full length coat. The seats would get worn out. Her father's art was to cut out the "bald" strips and replace them with matching new strips.

PS Mink makes great dubbing.
