Cross fox fur

Cross fox fur is a type of fur obtained from the cross fox and turned into a commodity.

The characteristic feature of the cross fox coat is the black or dark cross-like pattern over the neck and shoulders; the back and sides are pale or brownish-yellow, reddish or dark brown, often heavily silvered. The cross fox is a color variation of the red fox.

The fur trade classifies the cross fox fur as a so-called “noble fox fur”, as well as the silver fox fur, the blue fox fur and the arctic fox fur.

The cross fox is distributed almost exclusively in places where silver foxes are also found: in Alaska, Canada, Eastern Siberia and Kamchatka, with other fox pelts now coming from breeding. The amount of wild fox pelts has always been small compared to other fox species due to their smaller occurrence.
