Replacing a Ruff on a Greenbrier N-3B

I have a 1980s Greenbrier N-3B (80/20 cotton/nylon) which is in pretty good shape except for the synthetic fur ruff. I am looking to replace the ruff with either a better synthetic fur ruff (probably more cost effective) or possibly a real fur ruff (coyote).

It seems straightforward, but I am having trouble sourcing alternative ruffs or finding companies that will do a good job.

Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Bada-boom! Here's the fur.

If you live in or near an urban area, finding a tailor capable of making this type of repair to a parka should be fairly easy - do a bit of online sleuthing & make a few phone calls.

Thanks Cornelius! The Glacier Wear ruff looks perfect - and they're offering it at a tremendous discount right now. Once the ruff is in hand, I think finding a local tailor shouldn't be too difficult (finding the correct size ruff seemed to be more of a challenge).

Spot on! Thanks for the link!
