It probably looked nicer on the wolf.

On the subject of mother
thinking I'm mentally retarded I didn't help my case by pointing out it had been used and therefore wasn't like I'd skinned a wolf myself. Though I shot myself in the foot by claiming two previous owners- the seller and the wolf

I imagine it probably did
but it is now a coat.

everything looks nicer on wolves

they'd wear human skin coats given half the chance

There are so many lovely fake fur coats available nowadays.
Why?

they're itchy
if it makes you feel better I rarely wear fur. It's not my style, I'm not skinny enough to wear either fake or real fur. I see no problem with vintage stuff though- the animal is already dead

That is like saying to a vegetarian, why don't you eat meat.
The animal is already dead.

I'd be more likely to say why don't you eat meat
it's fucking lovely.

I'm not advocating continuing to kill things like wolves for their fur
but vintage ones should be enjoyed, otherwise it makes it even worse that they were killed.

Rubbish.
It was originally killed to make a fashion item and to keep wearing it as a fashion item would be wrong regardless of how old it is.

ok, the last bit was rubbish
I can't quite explain my view on this, but it's pretty much: it already exists, so it should be used.
