A faux fur scarf with chocolate-coloured polyester lining. The scarf can be secured around the neck by threading one end through a slit in the other. Polymeric fibres have been used to imitatate real fur since the late 1920s but technological improvements, along with the introduction of acrylic, provided a better quality replacement from the mid 1950s. Pile fabrics (fake fur) typically consist of synthetic fibres attached to a backing fabric, usually woven or tufted, in an automated process. In this example, the regular rows of pile can be clearly seen.
