If it's a new coat or hat it's definitely faux fur. Very few people wear actual fur anymore, mostly because of the backlash that comes with wearing fur. Some cities, like Los Angeles for example, ban the sale or manufacturing of fur. In other parts of the world the practice or farming is banned entirely as well. I haven't known anyone my age to wear fur at all.
For me, it's the quality of life that's important. Ireland recently banned fur farming just this year. They used mink farms as an example of the extreme cruelty the animals endure while being crammed into cages before being gassed and skinned.
