rabbit fur

Soft cottontail coat

Rabbit fur is the soft, dense pelage of rabbits, used in clothing, accessories, and craft projects.

It's prized for being lightweight, warm, and relatively inexpensive compared to other furs: a coat lined with rabbit fur, rabbit fur trim on winter gloves.

The term sometimes appears in discussions of animal welfare and the ethics of fur production.
