Again, references, please. This statement is all to easily made, it see it on more place (books, re-enactors, etc) but haven't find any good scientific evaluation of such a statement. (although it might be there, of course, as I know of sources for use of fur in ancient time, although I wouldn't generalize!)
I'm even told, by a re-enactor who says he knows his stuff, that every 'viking' or 'merovingian' clothing item was finished with fur edging. Well, I don't know much about viking nor Merovingian period or clothing, but I found such a statement very unrealistic.
