I had been longing for a faux fur vest, but wasn't willing to pay the price for the big box stores and big brands versions.
Instead I took a thrifted fur coat ( I only use fur that is from thrift stores, the coat I bought was at least from the 90s) and cut off the sleeves to create the look. Be sure to use very sharp and pointed scissors to get the cleanest and sharpest lines.
If your coat has lining, be sure to cut this away before starting in order to insure a clean cut around the shoulders.
If you would like a different look you can use this same concept on a leather or sheepskin coat. Another use for this could be to create a camo or utility vest for a tougher look.
Happy crafting!
