The washed fur was fine after a cold wash cycle and the fluff air, but was still damp, so I said to myself "hey, why not try the low-heat setting! It's a jacket, let's see how much abuse it can take!" Half an hour later, I pulled out a matted frizzy mess. This is actually a picture after I took the cat brush to it and got it de-clumped. It's still soft, but it doesn't have the silky feel of the original fur anymore and doesn't seperate as nicely. Let this be a warning to all the rest of you! This is why I wash samples of expensive fabric first before ruining yards!
