Description:Excerpt from The MuskratThe wearing of fur garments is as old as human history, but furs were slow in gaining favor in the temperate and warmer parts of Europe. Even in the middle ages their use was greatly restricted by sumptuary laws, which, on the plea of restraining extravagance, permitted the common people to wear only the inferior kinds. In several European countries sable was reserved for the nobility and ermine for the sole use of the royal families. Later, judges were allowed to wear ermine as officers and representatives of the king, and this concession was afterwards extended to all attendants on the court and servants of the royal family.
