Rabbit generally has medium length guard hair in a variety of natural colors and is often sheared or grooved. While not as durable as other furs, its is a very reasonably priced fur. In any case, the texture should be silky and the color uniform. Some rabbit is leather-edged to give it a longer life.
Rex Rabbit: The fur of this special breed is quite distinct from that of regular rabbits. According to the National Rex Rabbit Club (U.S.), the breed was the product of a recessive gene first spotted in France in 1919. Unlike regular rabbits, the Rex has no prominent "guardhair", resulting in a silkier, denser fur resembling chinchilla or sheared mink. Rex rabbits were imported into the U.S. in the 1920s.
